CHAPTER
IMPORTANT If you lock your smartphone,
you must enter the exact password to
unlock it. If you forget the password, you
need to perform a hard reset to resume
using your smartphone. Performing a hard
reset deletes all the entries in your
smartphone. If you use password
protection in Palm Desktop software, you
must remember your password to restore
your info. However, if you do not use
password protection in Palm Desktop
software, you can restore all previously
synchronized info the next time you sync
(see Synchronizing information—the
basics).
