Problem Solution
I forgot the password, and my
communicator is not locked.
You can use Security to delete the password. If you do this,
your communicator deletes all entries marked as private. You
can, however, perform a HotSync operation
before
you delete
the password: the HotSync process backs up all entries,
whether or not they are marked private. In this case, the
following procedure restores your private entries and lets you
access them:
1. Use the Palm Desktop software and the cable to
synchronize your data.
2. Tap Forgotten Password in Security to remove the
password and delete all private records.
3. Perform a HotSync operation to synchronize your data
and restore the private records by transferring them from
your computer to your communicator.
I forgot the password and my
communicator is locked.
If you assign a password and lock your communicator, you
must perform a hard reset to continue using your
communicator. See page 203 for details.
