Hi,
PIN cantt be got anywhere, but PUK which is used to unlock the PIN can be got from the service provide and can be used to unlock the PIN

PUK code in PIN UNLOCKING CODE, which is required when you give PIN number wrongly for 3 times,
This code is OPERATOR specific and not phone specific and you have to call you operator and get PUK if PIN is blocked...

if you provide PUK code wrongly for 10 time, you sim may become useless, then you have to buy new SIM

NOTE: You should ask your service provider,get the PUK,

Samsung S5230 forgot Sim Password

After you enter the password wrong 3 times, the phone will ask for a puk code, to get this puk code call your phone service provider, only the owner of the sim card will be able to obtain the code from the service provider. There is no way of getting the puk code since it is a random number generated by your network operator when the sim card made for you. if you enter the puk code wrong too many times you will have to get a new sim card as the sim card will kill itself when the code has been entered wrong 10 times.
