Description:
This SecurityPatch.prc software will address a password security issue that was discovered on Palm Zire 71 and Tungsten T2 handhelds.
The issue relates to a condition that may compromise the password lock out of the device.
If you use the password protection or the Auto Lock Handheld security feature, you must download and install this patch.
The system requirements and the installation steps are outlined below.
