Locking your smartphone and info

Security and Palm® Desktop software (Windows)

The Windows version of Palm® Desktop software observes the security password for your Treo smartphone. If you forget your password, you cannot view your information in Palm Desktop. If your smartphone is unlocked, you can change your password on your smartphone, but all entries marked as private are deleted. You can restore your private entries the next time you sync.

Follow these steps to recover from a lost password:

2.Select the Password box.

3.Select Lost Password.

4.Select Yes.

Entering owner information

You can use Owner Preferences to record information that you want to associate with your Treo smartphone, such as your name, company name, and home phone number. If you lock your smartphone (see Locking your smartphone), the Owner Preferences information appears on the screen that requests your password to unlock it, and you must also enter your password to change the Owner Preferences information.

1.Go to Applications and select Prefs .

2.Select Owner.

3.If you assigned a password with the Security application, select Unlock, enter your password, and then select OK to continue.
