Locking your pda phone

You can turn off and lock your pda phone with a password to protect information. You must then enter the password when you turn on your device to gain access to the information on it.

Performing a hard reset deletes all the records in your pda phone; however, you can restore all synchronized data at the next HotSync operation. See “Performing a hard reset” in Appendix A for more information.
