Protecting Important Data

important data confidential. The second way is to back up data on your desktop
computer in case of Palm-size PC damage or malfunction.
Use a password to keep data confidential.
Once you register a password, no one will be able to access Windows CE without
entering the password. Tap Start, Settings, and then Password to display the dialog
for registering a password. After you input the password you want to use and check the

Important!
Make sure you use a password you can remember easily or make a written note of it
somewhere. If you forget your password, you will not be able to use your Palm-size
PC. You will have to perform a full reset, which deletes all data in Palm-size PC
memory, and start all over again.
