Security
Your organizer comes with a Security application so that 
unauthorized users cannot view the entries you wish to protect. 
In Security, you can do the following:
nTurn off and lock your organizer so that it does not operate until 
you enter the correct password.
nHide records that you mark as private. You can hide private 
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 “Making records private” in Chapter 4 for 
information on making records private.
Assigning a password
You can assign a password to protect your private records and to lock 
your organizer.
To assign a password:
1. Tap the Applications icon  . 
2. Tap the Security icon.
3. Tap the Password box.
4. Enter a password. 
5. Tap OK. 
6. Enter the same password a second time, and tap OK.

Changing or deleting a password
Once you define a password for your organizer, you can change or 
delete it at any time. You must enter the current password before you 
can change or delete it.
To change or delete your password:
1. Tap the Password box.

Locking your organizer
You can also lock your organizer so that you need to enter your 
password to operate it.
Important:If you lock your organizer, you must enter the exact 
password to re-activate your organizer. If you forget the 
password, you need to perform a hard reset to resume 
using your organizer. Performing a hard reset deletes all 
the records in your organizer; however, you can restore 
all synchronized data at the next HotSync operation. See 
“Performing a hard reset” in Appendix A for more 
information.
Tap here 
						

							Page 46  Managing Your Applications
To lock your organizer with a password:
1. Perform a HotSync operation to synchronize the data between 
your organizer and your computer. See “Exchanging and updating 
data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 4 for information on 
synchronizing your data.
2. Assign a password.
3. Tap Turn Off & Lock Device.
4. Tap Off & Lock.
5. To start your organizer, turn it on, and then enter the password. 
Recovering from a forgotten password
If you did not activate the Off & Lock feature and you forget your 
password, you can delete the password from your organizer. Deleting 
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 organizer restores your private 
entries the next time you perform a HotSync operation, 
but it does not restore the password.
To delete a forgotten password:
1. Tap Forgotten Password.
2. Tap Yes.
Tap Off and 
Lock

This chapter is divided into three sections:
n“Overview of basic applications” briefly describes each 
application and explains how to open it.
n“Common tasks” gives instructions on how to do tasks that you 
can do in most or all of the basic applications. It’s easy to transfer 
what you learn in one application to the others because the 
structure and behavior of all the applications are quite similar.

instructions on how to do tasks that are specific to each 
application.
