Note
Unlocking your Huawei modem may void your warranty. I always advise you to contact your vendor to see if this is safe. You can only do this when your device is in good condition (can power on). In cases where you have a problem, you can always first update firmware, have the device in working condition and think about unlocking it. This Huawei e5330 is a pocket WiFi device. You can use it on the go and everywhere for as long as it is charged.
