    Try using the last 4 digits of your cell phone number to unlock it. I have no idea what puk is or means, but mine got locked by mistake when I had not set up any pin and I was told by my provider that the default is those 4 numbers.

    Generally it's a short cut key such as pressing and holding down the # or * key that locks it.


    PUK, btw. Just looked it up. it looks like you tried entering the wrong code too many times. I would try the option I gave you and then call your provider.

    Yes, call you provider, as Laura said. Before that, pull out the sim card and note down the number on it's back. You will be asked for this.
    PUK is pin unlocking code

    Once you get the (PUK) write it down, in case it happens again :)

    If you still have the original packing you should have a card with 2 scratch stripes on it the first is the "pin code" and the second is the second is the PUK "pin unlock code" this is if you have forgotten your pin code.

    If you have a different service provider the 2 codes will have been given when you purchased it.

    The default password may well be in the phone manual, or online.

    That's interesting. The password on my phone is characters/numbers/symbols etc.

    That was the code when it was new out of the box, I changed it straight away.

    That was just the phone the sim card was completely different.
