Using HP ProtectTools

The HP ProtectTools provides on-device security protection,
minimizing the risk of losing sensitive information on your HP
iPAQ Pocket PC. HP ProtectTools provides strong authentication
and encryption of email, calendar, contacts, notes, tasks, and/or
all files stored in the My Documents folder. It can also be used to
encrypt data stored on expansion cards.

Ä

CAUTION: HP ProtectTools provides strong protection of your Pocket

PC and the data stored on it. To access the Pocket PC, you will have

the option of enabling either a PIN or password. If you forget your

PIN or password, you will be able to access the device with a backup

question and answer. If you forget both your PIN/password and

question/answer, there is no way to unlock your device. You will

have to reset it, resulting in the loss of all data on your iPAQ Pocket

PC, including data stored in iPAQ File Store. It is recommended that

you remember your PIN/password and question/answer.

Setting Up Security

You should only need to set up security one time. You can make
changes to any of your security settings at a later time without
going through the setup procedure again. Refer to

“Manage

Security Settings”

later in this chapter for more information.

To set up security on your iPAQ Pocket PC:

1. From the Today screen, tap Start > Settings > Personal tab

>HP ProtectTools.
