Using HP ProtectTools
The HP ProtectTools provides on-device security protection,
minimizing the risk of losing sensitive information on your HP
iPAQ Pocket PC. HP ProtectTools provides strong authentication
and encryption of email, calendar, contacts, notes, tasks, and/or
all files stored in the My Documents folder. It can also be used to
encrypt data stored on expansion cards.
Ä
CAUTION: HP ProtectTools provides strong protection of your Pocket
PC and the data stored on it. To access the Pocket PC, you will have
the option of enabling either a PIN or password. If you forget your
PIN or password, you will be able to access the device with a backup
question and answer. If you forget both your PIN/password and
question/answer, there is no way to unlock your device. You will
have to reset it, resulting in the loss of all data on your iPAQ Pocket
PC, including data stored in iPAQ File Store. It is recommended that
you remember your PIN/password and question/answer.
Setting Up Security
You should only need to set up security one time. You can make
changes to any of your security settings at a later time without
going through the setup procedure again. Refer to “Manage
Security Settings” later in this chapter for more information.
To set up security on your iPAQ Pocket PC:
1. From the Today screen, tap Start > Settings > Personal tab
>HP ProtectTools.
