I had this same issue. Take out the radio and call a Mitsubishi dealer. You will need to serial number, and they can look it up on some site they only have access to. Blame the oil change people for leaving the air filter sensor unplugged when starting the car, then having to unplug the battery to reset the check engine light.
You pretty much have to remove the radio and have three things handy. The model number of your radio, the ID number of your radio and the VIN of your car. Then you can call the 800 number for Mitsubishi and tell them to give you your four digit code. Input the code and voila, that's it. So good luck removing the radio! You can look up some places where they give you ideas, but you have to be patient and just try to remove everything carefully not breaking anything. Either that or just pay someone at the dealership to do it. It's like 90 dollars but it takes like 30 minutes for them.
Good luck
You have to get the code from the dealership. You can't use the vin number of the car you have to use the serial number on the radio itself. The serial number can only be found by removing the head unit (the CD player). The serial number is on a sticker on the radio.
enter the code on the pre-set buttons on the radio. then press the fm/am or tape button

contact your local Authorized Mitsubishi Dealer the radio. Once the Part Number and the Serial Number are in hand, your Dealer can access the security code for that radio. Customer Relations Call Center at 1-888-MITSU2010 (1-888-648-7820) they will provide you with security code and steps to reset the radio as long as you have the Part Number and Serial Number for your radio unit. Agents are available Monday-Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. (PT). It's free :)

http://www.DelcoLockCodes.com will get you your radio unlock code for $5.00. Contact a GM dealer, preferably the selling dealer. They may have the code stored in their computer system if they sold the car. Otherwise you are probably going to have to remove the radio and get the Serial # off the radio. With this serial # the GM dealer will provide the code.
i need to know how to set the radio when you battery goes dead and the radio says code its a 2001 mits monyero sports.
Me too want to know how!!! I changed battery on my 2001 montero and stunned to see need to enter code on radio in order to work. that is sucks!!!
You might check owners manual, it is a hand written four digit code. Or you have to pull the radio and get serial # and manufacturer
Contact the dealer from where the Montero was originally purchased (new from showroom). Give them the Chasis number and they will provide you with the stereo lock code from their records. In-case the code is same for all 1997 Montero sports models then use the number 9613. This is the audio code of my Montero sport 1997 . Maybe it works in yours too! Good luck.

mine is 4938
You might have the codes located in your owners manual. If you dont, then try calling Mitsubishi and ask them for codes or where you might find them. I know when I take the battery out of mine the radio requires a code and you only get three tries to put them in otherwise you have to take the battery out then put it in again. Hope this helps.

Disconnect the battery. Warning: If you disconnect the battery for an extended period of time, the radio will not work and you will need to enter a security code to get the radio to work again. The dealership will charge you $$ to supply you with the security code.
