Reset a Dell Axim Password

Reset a Dell Axim Password

Password reset in Dell Axim can be done by hard resetting the PDA. Doing a hard reset wipes everything in the device, including the password. Once you complete the hard reset, the phone is a blank slate. You can set a new password on the Axim, and restore the data from your computer using the synchronization software that came with the device. 

1). Turn on the Dell Axim.

2). Press and hold the power button while pressing the reset pinhole on the back of the unit. You can use the end of the stylus or a bent paper clip.

3). Release the buttons at the same time, and wait for the screen to show "To Clear all Data in the Memory."

4). Press the "Contacts" button to reset the phone; press the "Mail" button to cancel.

5). Restore the data by connecting the Axim to the computer where you have the data saved.

6). Plug the USB data cable that came with your Axim into the device's charging/data port. Plug the other end of the cable into an open USB port on your Windows computer. The computer will launch Windows Mobile Device Center automatically.

7). Click "Set up your device" and select the types of data you want to restore.

8). Click "Next" and follow the on-screen prompts.

9). Click the "Finish" button when the synchronization is complete.
