unauthorized users cannot view the entries you wish to protect. 
In Security, you can do the following:

records with or without a password. Without a password, private 
records are hidden until you set the Security application to show 
them. With a password, you must enter the password to view the 
private entries. See “Using Phone Lookup” in Chapter 5 for 
information on making records private.

password to re-activate your handheld. If you forget the 
password, you need to perform a hard reset to resume 
using your handheld. Performing a hard reset deletes all 
the records in your handheld; however, you can restore 
all synchronized data at the next HotSync operation. See

a forgotten password also deletes all entries and files marked as 
Private.
Important:If you synchronize with your computer before deleting a 
forgotten password, your handheld restores your private 
entries the next time you perform a HotSync operation, 
but it does not restore the password.
