Security
Assigning a New Code or Password
Your phone’s four-digit unlock code is originally set to 1234, and the six-digit security code is originally
set to 000000 at the factory. Your service provider may reset these numbers before you receive your
phone.
If your service provider has
not reset these numbers, we recommend that you change them to prevent
other users from accessing your personal information or modifying your phone settings. The unlock code
must contain four digits, and the security code must contain six digits. Be sure to make a note of the
new numbers.
Notes:
• Your service provider may retain your phone’s security code for customer service purposes. In this
case, you will not be able to use phone features that require you to enter the security code (such as
master clear, master reset, and the unlock code bypass feature).
• If the only password you can change is the unlock code, the
New Passwords menu is unavailable
and the
Unlock Code option appears on the Phone Lock menu. In this case, open the unlock code
editor by selecting:
M > Settings > Security > Phone Lock > Unlock Code.
To change a code or password:
Find the Feature M > Settings > Security > New Passwords
