Hi everyone! I really need some assistance. I was fiddling with the security settings on my Android phone and accidentally locked my SIM card. Now, whenever I insert it, the phone prompts me for a SIM code. I tried entering the 8-digit code printed on the SIM, but it still asks for a password. I think that might be the PUK code, but I'm not sure what it is or how to get it. Time is of the essence because I need access to my files on the SIM card for a work presentation in just four days. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just checked my provider's website, and locating the PUK can be tricky. If you're having trouble, I’d be happy to walk you through it! It's usually hidden in the account settings.
You can usually find your PUK code on your provider's website. Just make sure to request it via email instead of SMS to avoid any issues. If you're uncertain about how to do it, let me know and I can help navigate the site with you.
If your SIM is locked and you’re struggling, it might be worth asking your provider for a replacement SIM instead. Also, just to clarify, the PUK code isn’t the same as the 8-digit code on your SIM; that’s likely your PIN. The PUK is usually a different number you need when the SIM is locked.
It sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle! Just so you know, SIM cards usually don’t hold files; they mainly store contact information. You can actually remove the SIM, restart your phone, and still access your files using Wi-Fi. But you’ll need to contact your provider to get the PUK code or even a new SIM if necessary.
