2. Press Unlock (right softkey).

display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re

3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,
the code is not visible as you type.)
Tip: If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits
of either your Social Security number or wireless phone number or try
0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at
1-888-211-4PCS(4727).
