Temporary Account Passcode | Technical service details | Consumer forum

The Quick Start Guide for the Nokia 1112 mentions that a 5 digit "Temporary Account Passcode" is located on a sticker on the back of the User Guide but is unclear as to why I need this code. I cannot find the code on any of the paperwork that came with the phone. There is a sticky tag that gives me the phone number and Voicemail Passcode but nothing else. Any suggestions and do I really need this code?
