You can select the numeric keyboard layout by pressing the **123** key at the bottom left of the keyboard, then enter the PIN code. Alternatively, you can press **Cancel** to skip this step now and follow the steps in the :ref:`librem_5_mobile_networks` section of this guide at a later time.

To unlock the screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the passcode entry screen.
