Change lock code

The preset lock code, by default, is the last four digits of your phone number.
Depending on your wireless service provider, the preset lock code can be a four
digit number such as 1234 or 0000. If none of these work, contact your wireless
service provider for help.

To ensure the security of your device, you may want to change the preset lock code
to your own selected four digit number. Avoid using codes similar to emergency
numbers such as 911 to prevent accidental dialing of the emergency number.

If you enter an incorrect lock code five times in a row, your device may ask you
for the security code. By default, the security code is 12345, a five digit number.

Note: With the wrong lock code entered five times in succession, your
phone will not accept your correct lock code for 5 minutes, even if you
power off the device between incorrect entries.

Settings

3. Select

Change lock code

4. Enter the new lock code (must be 4 characters in length).

5. Reenter the new lock code for verification, and select

OK

.

When changing your lock code, make sure you store it in a safe place, away from
your device. Avoid entering access codes similar to emergency numbers to prevent
accidental emergency calls.

Call restrictions

Select call restrictions to block or allow numbers for incoming and outgoing calls.
