The mobile phone is the most common means of communication today. At the same time, many modern telephones perform a number of additional functions, including storing information. If you do not want the information contained in your mobile device to become available to someone without your knowledge, the only way to avoid this is to lock your phone.

pin and puk codes
Instructions
Step 1
Protect data stored on your phone from prying eyes. To do this, you will need to either hide files or set a lock on your phone. Take this with the utmost seriousness, because losing your password will entail big problems, right up to the purchase of a new mobile device.
Step 2
Before blocking access to your phone, carefully write down all assumed passwords in a notebook - preferably well in advance of entering.
Step 3
One of the types of blocking access to the phone is SIM card blocking via pin and puk codes. When you turn on the phone, you will be prompted for a four (maximum eight) digit password. You will need to enter the correct pin code to activate your mobile device If you entered an incorrect combination 3 times in a row, after the last attempt, you will be asked to enter a puk consisting of 10 digits. Usually, the whole procedure for installing pin and puk codes is carried out when the SIM card is activated. You can leave this type of protection for your phone or, on the contrary, disable it.
Step 4
The lock can be activated differently on different mobile phone models.
To enable the phone lock on a Samsung device, go to "Settings" and select "Security Settings", then click on "Phone Lock". Immediately after that, write down the password to your diary and enter this set of numbers into your phone.
Step 5
If you use a cellular Sony Ericson, then to block it, click "Options" - "General" - "Locks" and "Phone lock". Immediately after that, the "Protection" option and the "On" link will appear. Enter the code you have invented, having previously duplicated it in your organizer.
