Recovering from a forgotten password

If you forget your password, your handheld will display the password hint, if you
entered one, to help you remember the password. If you are still unable to
remember the password, you can delete it from your handheld. Deleting a
forgotten password also deletes all entries and files marked Private.

IMPORTANT

If you synchronize with your computer before deleting a forgotten

password, your handheld 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.

From the General Preferences list, select Security.

2.

Tap the Password box.

3.

Tap Lost Password.

4.

Tap Yes.

Making records private

In many applications, you can make individual records private. Private records
remain visible and accessible, however, until you select the Security setting to hide
or mask all private records. Masked records appear as gray placeholders in the
same position in which they would appear if they were not masked, and are
marked with a lock icon. Hidden records disappear completely from the screen. If
you define a password for your handheld, you must enter it to display private
records.
