Access codes overview
Access codes consist of the lock code and security code.
When you get your phone, you should change these codes
from their defaults, write down the new codes, and keep
them in a safe place away from the phone. Avoid using access
codes that are similar to emergency numbers, such as 911,
to prevent accidental dialing of the emergency number.

The default lock code is 1234. Use
Menu

the lock code.
