unlock code

Secret entry sequence

An unlock code is a sequence of characters entered to gain access to something restricted—a phone, software, or encrypted content.

Mobile carriers provide unlock codes to free phones from network restrictions: I called my carrier to get an unlock code so I could use my phone overseas.

In gaming, unlock codes reveal hidden features or content.
