Palm Pilot?? Forgotten Password??

Question

Hey everyone, I have a PDA, Tungsten and I forgot my password for it. What do I need to do to unlock the screen?? I tried every possible thing that I could make a password with!!!

Answer 1

Did you try the password hint button?  That sometimes helps. Not all Palms have 'password hint', though...

Have you been doing recent backups on your PC of the Tungsten?  Or onto a memory card?  If so, you can hard-reset the PDA and then do a HotSync or memory card restore, and you'll have your data restored.

If not, then you have to do a hard-reset anyway, and all your data will be lost, sorry!

Here's the Palm knowledge base article on how to do a hard reset for any Palm device...
