I was messing around with my Samsung reality cellular phone, and I accidently pressed nam2. I have my phone set to lock when I turn it back on. So when the phone reset after pressing nam2, it's locked and my code I had before doesn't work, and the last four digits of my phone number doesn't work. How do I fix this?

Using the default "last four digits" unlock code will not work because switching to NAM2 changes your phone number, and hence changes the default unlock code. You have to find out your new phone number (and new unlock code) under NAM2. Do this:
Get to the dialer screen.
Dial #43574357* (#helphelp*)
Tap "1. system info"
The top two entries, MIN and MDN are your new number. Usually they are invalid phone numbers (000-000-????) but the last four digits are your unlock code. Write them down or remember them.
Dial *22899 and press SEND to program the phone.
after it has finished downloading the programming information, the phone will reset.
The Lock code will now be set to the last 4 digits of your phone number.
when you have finished, be sure to switch back to NAM1 and dial *22899 again to re-program it.
most phones only use nam one. phone will need to be reprogrammed. If you havent already take it back to the store you need numbers for the network only they have.
i suggest you call your service company and tell them.. they will either send u a new phone.. or they might be able to provide you with an unlock code. i know that tmobile can give unlock codes cause theyve done it 4 me.. they have sent me new phones before also... please rate my soliution.. thanks :)
Dial *228 and press send. Listen for the prompt and press 1 to program
your phone. Remain on the call while your phone is programmed (could
take up to 2 minutes). Do not hang up until you hear, 'Your phone has
been programmed successfully."
Good luck!
If you know your original lock code, take it in to your service provider, each code is diffrent and can only be programed manually, if you dont know your original lock code you will have to sacrific all info pics,mess,numbers, etc. by a reset... I can guide you through the steps to erase all if you lost your Unlock code, or switch back to nam1 if you know your lock code, ( when you switch back, if security is on automatic lock, password is required) intial programing code is not your Unlock code.
