Daughter messed around with settings put in pin lock and then phone asked for pin which my daughter forgot and now phone is asking for puk code pls help

That is a parental lock code, someone had to put that code in there, likely it was your daughter to fool with you. Without the code you are locked out, period.

You have not asked a question. If you have a problem with it, then let us know what it is.

Thank you for contacting Fixya.

This code is stored in the SIM card and when you power up the phone it asks for a pin code before you can operate the phone.
In some cases when you enter the wrong pin code too many times the SIM card will lock up. You need to contact the phone service provider for assistance to unlock/remove the pin code.

Hi Christine,

Do not worry about anything. You can easily obtain the PUK code without any charge, from your service provider by calling on Customer care number.
PUK is PIN Unlocking Code. When you enter a wrong PIN for 3 times the SIM gets locked and asks for a PUK code. Once you get the PUK code from your service provider you can create a new PIN for the SIM card.

Please note that if you Enter a Wrong PUK 10 times your SIM card will be corrupt and you will not be able to use it. So please do not try to guess the PUK.
PUK code cannot be generated by any software. Only your service provide can give you the PUK code for your SIM.

Thankfully the solution is very simple to your problem. The only way for the Garmin to accept a setting of a password is if you also define a secure geographical spot right after the PIN code setting.

If no safe place is defined, the lock will not engage and the PIN setting attempt is void. So if it is locked it means your daughter has stored a safe location as well (you just click ok so it is easy also for a 3-year old).

At this geographical spot the GPS unit will be unlocked, and you will be able to change the PIN code to your liking or remove the lock.

So all you need to do is to recollect the specific geographical place your daughter may have played with your GPS, bring it to that place and switch it on: no PIN code is asked for when you found the correct spot. You may need to wait a few minutes for the unit to locate satellites, then it should unlock.

by default the pin code of nokia is 1234

The NAM is the internal cellphone number...every phone has 2 numbers...the one you use, and the one thats used to identify it... press *228 and then switch the NAM back to NAM 1

if that doesnt work take it back to your provider and they can reprogram it....however any contacts you had saved or music, pics, videos or downloads are gone for good...sorry
