Why does my Samsung Cell Phone keep asking for PIN, PUK, or PIN2 codes?
- A
  Amanda LambSep 7, 2025
  If your Samsung Cell Phone prompts you for codes such as PIN, PUK, or PIN2, it could be due to several reasons. If the phone lock feature is enabled, you'll need to enter the password you set. When using the phone for the first time, or if the PIN requirement is enabled, use the PIN supplied with the SIM card; you can disable this in the PIN lock menu. If your SIM card is blocked due to entering the PIN incorrectly multiple times, you'll need to enter the PUK provided by your service provider. Finally, when accessing a menu that requires PIN2, enter the PIN2 supplied with your SIM card, or contact your service provider for assistance.
