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 handheld. 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 handheld 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 Lost Password.
2. Tap Yes.
