how do I get the radio to work?

Just bought a 2000 Honda Accord 2door, 4cyl and the radio does not work. It say's " code 5". What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure what the message means, but assuming it's locked out for anti-theft reasons (i.e., the battery was swapped out), you can get the unlock code from Honda once you get your information into their system. See this FAQ.

If you did not receive the code card as part of the package of documentation the seller provided, you can try this website to help obtain the required code to make the radio operable:

Thanks @cartalk, I remember that page but couldn't find it yesterday.
