I cannot give you the code because it is specific to the radio in your Honda and not other code will work. However, if you do not have the code written down in your owner's manual it is very simple to acquire it for free. Simply go to this link and register your Honda. https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/login.asp You will need the VIN #, your telephone # in order to get the code. Once registered simply click the section Retrieve Radio/Navi Code. You will also need the serial number off the radio. It explains how to get the code off the dial without having to remove the radio from the vehicle. Very simple and easy that will cost you nothing.
the best way to get the code is call your local honda dealer and they will either need your vin number of the vehicle or the number off the back of the radio...
Press and hold numbers 1 & 6. This should give you some codes. Take these codes, the VIN and proof of ownership to your local dealership parts department. They can get the unlock code from Honda. If the radio will not give you codes, you will need the radio serial number. This can, usually, be found in the glove box, if not the radio will have to be pulled.
Your radio unlock code is specific to your radio. If the code isn't written on your owners manual you will have to make a trip to the dealer as they are the only ones that can look up your unlock code. They may retrieve your code for free as a courtesy or they may charge you a (hopefully) small fee. It should only take a few moments and all they should need is your vehicles VIN number.

Assuming you don't have the Anti-Theft Code and Serial Number that is found on the credit card sized Anti-Theft Radio Identification Card that comes with the vehicle at the time of purchase and is usually found in the glove compartment....

So what happened to begin with?
See also: http://automobiles.honda.com/information/frequently-asked-questions.aspx?Question=2
If the power from your battery to the Honda radio is interrupted the
Anti-Theft feature kicks in, the radio is rendered inoperable and the
screen reads 'CODE'. You must enter in the Anti-Theft Radio Unlock Code
(usually 5 digits) to make it operational again. You know that much by
now.
If the radio is still in the original car then you can phone up your local honda dealer and give them the car vin/registration number and they will tell you the unlock code.
if you do not have original anti-theft radio code you will need to remove radio and retrieve s/n off of radio. once you have that you can go into nearest honda dealer and with s/n they can give you correct radio code
