If it was the SIM cards pin, then ring your service provider and get whats
called the PUK code.
This 3 times and you're out thing is a safety feature so if someone
unauthorised enters the SIM pin number
3 times incorrectly, then it's not like they would contact the service
provider and try to get the number if the phone is stolen.

One word of warning, dont try to enter the PUK or the master code as you put
it, incorrectly 10 times.
If it's entered 10 times incorrectly then the SIM card disables altogether,
and you will be up for the cost
of a new SIM card, usually $45 or so.

Like I said, it's a SIM card thing not a phone thing ;-)

hope this gets you out of trouble
