unauthorized users cannot view the entries you wish to protect. 
In Security, you can do the following:

nMask all records that you mark as private so the information 
appears greyed out.
nHide all records that you mark as private so they do not appear on 
any screen. 
You can mask or hide private records with or without a password. 
Without a password, private records are hidden until you set the 
Security application to show them, or they are masked until you tap 
the private record. With a password, you must enter the password to 
view the private entries. See “Making records private” in Chapter 4 for 
information on making records private.

If you lock your handheld, you must enter the exact 
password to re-activate your handheld. If you forget the

information.

password, you can delete the password 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.
To delete a forgotten password:
1. Tap Lost Password.
2. Tap Yes.
