Setting a Password
You can set a password to prevent unauthorized access to or use
of your Pocket PC.
1. From the Start menu, tap Settings > Personal tab >
Password.
2. On the Password screen, tap the box next to Prompt if device
unused for, and then set the amount of time allotted to pass
before the Pocket PC prompts the user for a password.
3. Tap the list box to select Simple 4 digit password or Strong
alphanumeric password.
4. Enter your password in the Password box using the screen
keyboard and tap OK.
NOTE: Keep a record of your password in a safe place in case you
forget it. If you are unable to retrieve your password, you must
perform a hard reset on your Pocket PC and will lose settings and
information that are not saved in iPAQ File Store. See the section
in this chapter “Performing a Hard Reset” for more information.
Resetting the Unit
Sometimes there is a need to reset your Pocket PC. Resetting the
unit is known as performing a “soft” or “hard” reset. A soft reset
(also known as a normal reset) stops all running applications, but
does not erase any programs or saved data.
A hard reset (also known as a full reset) is used when you want to
clear all user-installed settings, programs, and data from the
Read-Only Memory (ROM). By performing a hard reset, you
return the device to its original shipping state.
