will display how many attempts you have remaining.
2. After the third incorrect attempt, the Type PUK and new
PIN code screen displays and your SIM card is locked.
Note: While your SIM card is locked, you will still be
able to make Emergency calls, if necessary.
3. Enter the PUK code that you received from your AT&T
Customer Service Representative in the PUK code field.
4. Enter a new PIN code in the New PIN code field and tap
OK.

Device Administrators

The Device Administration feature allows you to select one or
more administration applications that control your device for
security purposes (for example, if your phone is lost of
stolen). These applications enforce remote or local device
security policies.
Some of the features a device administration application
might control are:
•
Setting the number of failed password attempts before the
device is restored to factory settings.
•
Automatically locking the device.
•
Restoring factory settings on the device.
Note: If a device uses multiple enabled administration
applications, the strictest policy is enforced.
