Password problems

Problem

Solution

I forgot the
password, and my
handheld is not
locked.

You can use Security to delete the
password, but your handheld deletes all
entries marked as private. However, if you
perform a HotSync operation before you
delete the password: the HotSync process
backs up all entries, whether or not they are
marked private. Then, you can follow these
steps to restore your private entries:

1. Use the Palm Desktop software and

the HotSync cable or infrared com-
munication to synchronize your
data.

2. Tap Forgotten Password in Security

to remove the password and delete
all private records.

3. Perform a HotSync operation to syn-

chronize your data and restore the
private records by transferring them
from your computer to your
handheld.

I forgot the password
and my handheld is
locked.

If you assign a password and lock your
handheld, you must perform a hard
reset to continue using your handheld.
See “Performing a hard reset” in
Appendix A
for more information.
