Security
This section provides some tips to safeguard your HP Jornada and the data it
holds from theft or loss. You can set a password to protect your data and keep
a record of when someone tries to access data on your HP Jornada.
Setting a password
Use the HP security application to prevent unauthorized access to your HP
Jornada and the data it holds. You can set a password to protect your data,
set a reminder password, and keep a record of when anyone attempts to
access data on your HP Jornada.
If you enable password protection, you must enter your password each time
you turn on your Pocket PC. Or, you can set a short delay, so you do not need
to re-enter your password if you turn on your HP Jornada within a short period
of time. The delay feature can be convenient if you frequently turn your HP
Jornada on and off to conserve power.
To set a primary password
1. On the Start menu, tap Settings, and then on the Personal tab, tap
the HP security icon.
2. On the Primary tab, enter a four-digit password by tapping the on-
screen keypad.
3. Select the Enable password protection check box.
If you forget your password, you must restore your HP Jornada to the factory
default settings, erasing all data you have stored on your HP Jornada. For
more information, see the Resetting your HP Jornada section, in chapter 9.
