password to lock your handheld. You can set your handheld to lock automatically, or you can lock
it manually.

IMPORTANT
If you lock your handheld, you must enter the exact password to unlock it. If you
forget the password, your handheld will show you the hint you entered to help you remember the
password. If you still cannot remember the password, you must do a hard reset to resume using
your handheld. A hard reset deletes all of the information on your handheld, including your
password, but you can restore the information by synchronizing your handheld with your
computer.
