A PUK code is the code that unblocks a blocked SIM card.
It's provided by your service provider.
From Wikipedia:
Most mobile telephones offer the feature of personal identification number(PIN) protection. After switching on the phone, if the PIN security function isactive, the user is requested to enter a 4-8 digit PIN enabling the phone'snon-emergency calling functions. If the wrong PIN is typed in more than threetimes, either the SIM card, the device or both become locked. They can bereverted to their original unlocked state by entering a PUC (PUK), provided bythe service operator through verification. If the wrong PUC (PUK) is enteredten times in a row, the device will become permanently blocked andunrecoverable, requiring a new SIM card. Cellular phone users are thereforeadvised by most providers to keep their PUC (PUK) written down in a safe placeseparate from the device.
The PUC (PUK) is a SIM-specific code assigned by the service provider. It isnear-impossible to guess and enter it; thus, if you do not know your PUC (PUK)and are prompted for it, you should get it from your service provider.
