Note
· Whenever the required password changes, <counter> changes the reflect that
change.
· For passwords associated to the phone lock ("PS" lock) or factory set locks,
such as "PF", "PN", "PU", "PP", "PC" the number of attempts is subject to a
timing algorithm explained in Chapter 4.35.1. If these passwords are incorrectly
entered the counter first returns 3, 2 and 1 remaining attempt(s), but then gives
the total number of attempts which amounts to 63 (see example below).
· See also Chapters 4.21, 4.35 4.36, 4.38, 7.15 for further information on locks
and passwords.
