code, and select OK.

new code can be 4-255 characters long. Both alphabets
and digits can be used, and both uppercase and lowercase
alphabets are possible.
Write down the new code, and keep it secret and in a safe
place separate from your device. If you forget the lock code
and your device is locked, you must take the device to a
Nokia authorised service facility and additional charges
may apply. To unlock the device, the software must be
