Security

This section provides some tips to safeguard your HP Jornada and the data it holds from theft or loss. You can set a password to protect your data and keep a record of when someone tries to access data on your HP Jornada.

Setting a password

Use the HP security application to prevent unauthorized access to your HP Jornada and the data it holds. You can set a password to protect your data, set a reminder password, and keep a record of when anyone attempts to access data on your HP Jornada.

If you enable password protection, you must enter your password each time you turn on your Pocket PC. Or, you can set a short delay, so you do not need to re-enter your password if you turn on your HP Jornada within a short period of time. The delay feature can be convenient if you frequently turn your HP Jornada on and off to conserve power.

To set a primary password

1.On the Start menu, tap Settings, and then on the Personal tab, tap the HP security icon.

2.On the Primary tab, enter a four-digit password by tapping the on- screen keypad.

3.Select the Enable password protection check box.

If you forget your password, you must restore your HP Jornada to the factory default settings, erasing all data you have stored on your HP Jornada. For more information, see the Resetting your HP Jornada section, in chapter 9.
