Lockout—
If an administrator password has been enabled, the
device enters Lockout mode. To gain access to the device
again, the administrator password or the unlock key (a
character combination) must be entered. After ten
unsuccessful entries in succession, the device transitions to
Administrator Lockout mode.
NOTE:
Refer to the Compaq CD for information on obtaining
the unlock key for a nominal fee.
■
Administrator Lockout—
This mode occurs when all
password attempts have been unsuccessful. You will not be
able to access your handheld PC until the unlock key is
entered.
IMPORTANT:
When the unlock key is used to gain access to
your handheld PC, your login password and the administrator
password are removed. To reestablish security, you will need
to reset these passwords.
For information on setting the various passwords, see the next
section, “Setting Passwords.”
