Puk Codes; Security Code; Change The Security Code - Nokia 6590 User Manual

Note: If you make a mistake while entering the code, Code Error
appears. Start again at step 2 and be careful to enter the correct
code. If you enter the wrong code three times in a row, the PIN code
is blocked. To unblock the PIN code, you need a Personal Unblocking
Key (PUK).

• PUK CODES

The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and PUK2 codes are 4- to 8-digit
codes that also usually come from your service provider along with the
SIM card. The PUK code unblocks a blocked PIN code, and the PUK2 code
unblocks a blocked PIN2 code.
If you block your phone, you may need to contact your service provider.
When you enter the PUK code given by your service provider, the phone
will ask you to enter and then confirm a new PIN code.

You need the security code to access some security features. When the

If you enter an incorrect security code five times in a row, the phone will
not accept the correct code for 5 minutes.
