PIN code/Access code?

Sorry to ask a question that to most will be utterly obvious. I've just bought a Nokia 100 phone as an emergency back up. All I want to do (and have done on my main mobile phone, but can't remember how to do it), is to have a PIN number for entry when turning on the phone. I've looked on the online instructions and am confused as to what the difference is between "changing an access code" and the "PIN". The SIM was already in the phone (the online instructions say that a PIN comes with the SIM, but no PIN was mentioned). I don't want to change the settings to PIN code request "ON", if this is going to lock the phone without my knowing what the possible existing PIN is. How do I do this, please?
