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.
If you forget the password, you must perform a hard reset to resume using
your pda phone. 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.
