Is there a way to capture the password from my Palm Vx? It is password protected, and I get password incorrect message when I try to unlock it. If I do a hard reset, I lose all my data. I cannot reload from the last HotSync to my laptop because it is also password protected with the same incorrect password message.

I called Palm. They had me perform a hard reset then a hotsync. The hotsync did not ask me for a password so Iwas able to get back into my Palm, but I lost everything since my last hotsync. I am able to live with that. I now will be more diligent and hotsync more often. I do not dare to lock it again though.
