Security password and Palm®Desktop
software (Window s)
You can set the Windows version of
Palm®Desktop software to observe the
security password for your 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, and then create a new
password.
WARNING Be ver y careful to remember
your password when both your
smartphone and your info in Palm Desktop
software are protected by that password.
Here's why: If you forget your password
and hard reset your smartphone to regain
its use, you can't sync with Palm Desktop
to restore your info because Palm Desktop
still requires you to enter the password.
