Forgetting your PIN - what you can do

If you have entered the PIN incorrectly too many times, the card will be locked. In such a case, the PUK or SuperPIN helps, with which you can unlock your smartphone again. You usually receive the PUK together with your PIN for the SIM card. To set a new PIN using the PUK, enter the following on your phone's number pad: **05*PUK*new PIN*new PIN#. Confirm the entry using the dial function.
