in this case your sim card has been locked contact att customer care at 18003310500. they can give you the PUK code there

You can only get the PUK code from AT&T. If you tried to enter too many incorrect codes, you now might need to purchase a new SIM. Sorry to give you the bad news but you should have referred to your Users Manual immediately when you got the message asking for the PUK. The poor device is thinking someone who does not know the pass is trying to hack him and is trying to protect the owners interests and so it did. Call AT&T but don't be surprised if they tell you to come in and get a new SIM.
Goog luck.
