Glossary of PIN and lock codes
If you forget any of these codes, contact your service
provider.
Personal identification number (PIN) code—This code
protects your SIM card against unauthorized use. The PIN
code (4 to 8 digits) is usually supplied with the SIM card.
After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the PIN
code is blocked, and you need to unblock it before you can
use the SIM card again. See the information about the PUK
code in this section.
PIN2 code—This code (4 to 8 digits) is supplied with some
SIM cards, and is required to access some functions in your
device.
Lock code (also known as security code)—This code
(5 digits) can be used to lock the device to avoid
unauthorized use. The factory setting for the lock code is
12345. To avoid unauthorized use of your device, change
the lock code. Keep the new code secret and in a safe place
separate from your device.
Personal unblocking key (PUK) code and PUK2 code—These
codes (8 digits) are required to change a blocked PIN code
or PIN2 code, respectively. If the codes are not supplied
with the SIM card, contact the operator whose SIM card is
in your device.
Certificate management
Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are used
to verify the origin of software.
Glossary: Digital certificates are used to verify the
origin of the XHTML or WML pages and installed
software. However, they can only be trusted if the
origin of the certificate is known to be authentic.
In the certificate management main view, you can see a
list of authority certificates that are stored in your device.
Press to see a list of personal certificates, if available.
Digital certificates should be used if you want to connect
to an online bank or another site or remote server for
actions that involve transferring confidential information.
They should also be used if you want to reduce the risk of
viruses or other malicious software and be sure of the
authenticity of software when downloading and installing
software.
