security code
Explanation:
I assume that "chaîne" is used in the sense of "chaîne de caractères" (character string) and "CD/DVDs de restauration" are recovery disks to restore a crashed or damaged system. In that case I would probably call it a security code.

locking sequence

Explanation:

It is a password used to restrain access to CD and DVD

For me the problem here would be what type of restauration are they protecting. House renovation or feeding people ? More context would be required but you must know which it is...
