An apparatus and a method for changing system information in a portable terminal are provided to check whether security information gains admission to entering a management mode for requesting a change of the system information to the operator of the portable terminal and change the system information when it is determined that the security information is admitted, thereby preventing an illegal change of the system information. A memory unit(204) stores security information including specific information for discriminating an operator and information for notifying the admission of system information change. A security management unit(202) determines whether the security information prestored under the control of a control unit(200) gains admission to entering a management mode for changing system information and determines whether the security information gains admission to the change of the system information. The control unit acquires the security information stored in the memory unit when a system information change request is detected, and controls the security management unit to determine whether the security information gains admission to the change of the system information. |
