Security
The Security application in your handheld allows you to prevent unauthorised access to your records by setting such entries as private records. Private records remain visible and accessible until you select the security setting Hide Records.
NOTE: You can set records as private in all basic applications, except Mail.
You can mask or hide private records. When you mask private records, a gray
placeholder appears where the record would normally be displayed and a Lock icon 
is visible opposite the masked entry; when you hide records, they are not visible anywhere in the list.
You can mask or hide records without assigning a password, or you can assign a password if you want records to remain masked or hidden until a password is entered.
