Apparently some joker activated the password on my HP HX2795, with the obvious consequence. It didn't have anything sensitive in it, which is why I didn't have it password protected to begin with. So how do I get past the password screen ot reset the device so that it is accessible?
Ask HP? they made it, its super old and obsolete now. see my link below on the free manual
the manual covers this, why not just read it
or ask HP, first. the reset does kill all data.
there I warned you.
ask them and expect lots of head scratching, something this old

my guess , take out both batteries,?
and then it lost everything, ? can be pain to find the reload files.
big pain after that.
these toy PDA are not fun.
here is what happens if the main battery goes bad and replace.
you replace it and all is ok.
but if the 2nd hidden battery dies
and you remove both batteries, all software must be reloaded. (RTM did you read the service manual yet, it tells you that)
so , where are you going to get that , now that HP ended support. sure scalpers and virus site endless....
why not just toss the toy in the trash
like 99.9% have, and get a used cell phone,
that has support. (or tiny note book from walfart for like $50)

RTM 14 year old relic PDA it is...
see the free manual here, ever read it?
read how to replace both batteries
and it gets 10x more clear how to mess up.
clear as day.
google 1st hit btw.
ever like google for a manual?
read page 50
clear as day it says resetting the Password
will erase all data.
quote
If you have HP ProtectTools enabled and forget your PIN or
password, resetting the device will result in loss of data stored in iPAQ
File Store. For more information on HP ProtectTools, refer to Chapter 7,
“Using Security Features.”
end quote.
read the page there , how to reset the device
there is a button called reset device.
in the manual, read it
then it says, in the manual you then answer keep the security feature? ,pick no.!
it has finger print option to and the 3 questions bs.
and now all data is lost.
if you have data, it is lost.
unless you can guess the PW
or talk to HP, ask real HP this.
some devices HP sells (vast) have back door pass words just for this , ATTACK.
ask them , ask HP, fixya is not hP
and fixya has no back doors to anything .
no data, you said so reset it.
end story.
amazing to me is googling finds the manual in 1 second flat. (try to be self reliant?)

Hi there.
Browse to your Windows directory and look for BtCoreIf.dll and BtSdkCE30.dll. Rename them both (for example: "BtCoreIf.old" "BtSdkCE30.old")
then do a soft reset, it should work.
Bye

Hard reset instructions on the internet would wipe it. Might need software reloaded, so that may be unfortunate.
