Locking your CLIÉ handheld with a password
(Data protection)
You can lock your CLIÉ handheld by assigning a password. Your CLIÉ
handheld then requires the user to enter the password when it is turned on.
Note
To turn on your CLIÉ handheld when it is locked, you must enter the correct password.
If you forget the password, you need to perform a hard reset. However, performing a hard
reset deletes all the data and applications which you installed on your CLIÉ handheld.
(By performing the HotSync
®
operation, you can restore the backup data or applications
from your computer.)
