190 Chapter 15 : Troubleshooting
Creating your HP webOS Account: Are you trying to use an
account from another webOS device?
When you set up your device, did you tap Sign In on the HP webOS
Account screen? Tap the Sign In button only if you can answer Yes to
these questions:
• Did you create a valid HP webOS Account on another webOS device
in the past?
• Do you want to use that same HP webOS Account again on your new
webOS device?
If you answered No to those questions, do this:
• Swipe left on the screen until you see the HP webOS Account screen
again. Then tap Create New Account.
If you answered Yes to the questions, do this:
• If you forgot the account password, tap Forgot Login? Enter the answer
to your security question and tap Done. Create a new password and
tap Done.
If that doesn’t work, do this:
• For help on setting up your old account on your new device, go to
hpwebos.com/support. Select your device and click Support Services.
Select one of the support options.

Tap Shift and then the key (see Enter symbols and alternate

key to see the symbols associated with that key. When you see the
symbol you want, tap it. For a complete list of the symbols
associated with each key, see Symbols and accented characters.
