Initial lock code
The initial lock code value is determined by your service
provider.
For service provider configurations that do not require account
activation, a default lock code is set at the factory to a value
determined by the service provider. For assistance, contact
your service provider.
Configurations that use the Activation Assistant or automated
activation set the initial lock code to the last four digits of your
account phone number whenever a new phone number is
activated.
Note: The security lock code is reset to the last four digits of the
phone number whenever an account is activated.
