Password problems
Problem Solution
I forgot the password, and my
handheld is not locked.
■ First, use the password hint to try and remember the
password. If this doesn’t help or if you do not have a
password hint, you can use Security to delete the password,
but your handheld deletes all entries marked as private.
However, if you perform a HotSync operation before you
delete the password; the HotSync process backs up all
entries, whether or not they are marked private. Then you
can follow these steps to restore your private entries:
a. Use the Palm Desktop software and the cradle/cable or
infrared communication to synchronize your data.
b. Tap Forgotten Password in Security to remove the
password and delete all private records.
c. Perform a HotSync operation to synchronize your data
and restore the private records by transferring them from
your computer to your handheld.

using your handheld. See “Performing a hard reset” in
Appendix A for more information.
