SETTING A PASSWORD

To help protect against unauthorized use of your Compaq Aero 2100 Series, password security is provided. For immediate protection, Compaq recommends setting up the password security through the Password utility in the Settings of your device as soon as possible. If set, your login password must be entered to access Windows CE. This occurs each time that you turn on your device.

CAUTION: Choose a password that's easy to remember. If you forget it, you must perform a full reset to use your device again. A full reset restarts your device and removes all information that was stored in memory, such as your data files and your system settings.

To set your login password, follow these steps:

On your device, tap StartàSettingsàPassword.

If a password has been previously set, the Enter Password dialog appears. Enter the password and tap the OK button. This gives you access to the rest of the Password application. This step is necessary only if a password has been previously set.

To set a new password or change an existing password, type the new password into the Password box, then into the Confirm box.

Enable the login password by checking the Enable password protection at power-onbox. This causes a password prompt to appear each time you turn on the device.

Save your new settings by tapping OK.

Your login password is now set. The login password screen appears each time you turn on your device.
