The next time you establish a connection between your Newton device and
your computer, a prompt appears on your Newton device asking you to enter
your desktop connection password. The password helps prevent unauthorized
users from accessing your computer or Newton device, either directly or via
an AppleTalk network.
If you forget your password, you can enter a new one by clicking Set

the same as the Personal Identification Number (PIN) you enter on your
Newton device.
