Recovering from a forgotten password

If you forget your password, your handheld will display the password
hint, if you entered one, to help you remember the password. If you
are still unable to remember the password, you can delete it from your
handheld. Deleting a forgotten password also deletes all entries and
files marked as Private.
Important: If you synchronize with your computer before deleting a
forgotten password, your handheld restores your private
entries the next time you perform a HotSync operation,
but it does not restore the password.
