You have a new Samsung smartphone with a new SIM—and you just can't remember the PIN? No problem, just change it to a code that you can remember. You only need to follow a few steps, which NextPit will tell you in this article.

There are many reasons why we buy new SIM cards: We had to change our contract, we want to separate business and private contacts or we lost a SIM card, just to name a few reasons. With a new SIM, you always have to enter a new PIN (Personal Identification Number).

If you don't want to or can't get used to the new number, you can easily replace it with a PIN of your choice. We will now explain how to do this on your Samsung phone:

  4. Tap on Set up SIM lock.
  5. Now tap Change SIM card PIN.
  6. Enter the current PIN of your SIM card, confirm with OK.
  7. Now tap the desired PIN twice and confirm again with OK.

I have been particularly interested in Android phones for many years now, and would like to get involved with the highly exciting smart home market. LEt's see, did I miss anything else? Oh yes, I love Depeche Mode and suffer with Schalke 04.
