To lock your organizer with a password:

1. Perform a HotSync operation to synchronize the data between

your organizer and your computer. See “Exchanging and updating
data: HotSync operations” in Chapter
4 for information on
synchronizing your data.

2. Assign a password.

3. Tap Turn Off & Lock Device.

4. Tap Off & Lock.

5. To start your organizer, turn it on and then enter the password.

Recovering from a forgotten password

If you did not activate the Off & Lock feature and you forget your
password, you can delete the password from your organizer. Deleting
a forgotten password also deletes all entries and files marked as
Private.

Important:

If you synchronize with your computer before deleting a
forgotten password, your organizer restores your private
entries the next time you perform a HotSync operation,
but it does not restore the password.

To delete a forgotten password:

1. Tap Forgotten Password.

2. Tap Yes.

Tap Off and
Lock
