As I turn on the pda it immediately goes to a password screen, even if I try to hard reset it cancels it out and goes to the password screen.

Gee, how did you get this PDA that you know nothing about operating?

this should be gone after a hard reset. now most people think when they push the reset button that its a hard reset which it is not! thats a soft reset. to perform a hard reset hold the power button down and press the reset button (dont hold it just press it once) hold the power button untill you see a grey palm powered logo appear on your screen, then let go and press the navigation button up (it will ask you if you want to erase all data). by doing this you will put your tx back to factory settings and all passwords will be gone. then do a custom hotsync to put all your data back but i would suggest you to copy your username folder before doing all this and copy it on your pc desktop. then when you hotsync your empty tx choose a new username and after that if it works correctly you can import all your old data into your new username folder. by ussing palm desktop.

You would basically have to do a zero-out reset.

It's extremely complex, and return the device to it's original manufactured state.

Go to www.palm.com and search for hard resets.

An easier way would be to ask the person you got the PDA from to tell you the password.


Good Luck,
Mike

I think TX, Life Drive, T5 use different reset procedure because they use fast non-volatile memory as main memory.

I believe you have to go to preferences and remove that specification.

Now, did you set it like that yourself, or did you get the TX from somebody else?

Eddie might have some useful (or better advice).
