IMPORTANT
If you lock your handheld, you must enter the exact password to
reactivate your handheld. If you forget the password, your handheld will present the
hint you have entered to help you remember the password. If you still cannot
remember the password, you must perform a hard reset to resume using your
handheld. Performing a hard reset deletes all the records in your handheld; however,
you can restore all synchronized data at the next HotSync operation. See
“Performing
a hard reset”
in
Appendix A
for more information.
Locking your handheld manually
You can turn off and lock your handheld manually. When the handheld is locked,
you can only make emergency calls by pressing the four application buttons
simultaneously.
To lock and turn off your handheld:
1.
Tap Lock & Turn Off.
2.
To use your handheld, turn it on and then enter the password.
Recovering from a forgotten password
IMPORTANT
Deleting a forgotten password also deletes all entries and files marked
as Private.
If you forget your password, your handheld displays 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.
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.
