Did you use PilotManager to restore from your backup?  If so it should have
told you that the pilot (after resetting) was unlabelled and asked you for
your name.

If you have the pilot-link package you can use the install-user program to
label a pilot.  Or a perl script like this should work:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl5
BEGIN
{
  unshift(@INC,"/home/pilotmgr/lib/perl5",
		"/home/pilotmgr/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris");
}
use PDA::Pilot;
$socket = PDA::Pilot::openPort("/dev/ttya");
$dlp = PDA::Pilot::accept($socket);
$userInfo = $dlp->getUserInfo();
$userInfo->{'name'} = "myname";
$dlp->setUserInfo($userInfo);
$dlp->close();
PDA::Pilot::close($socket);

1. replace top line with correct path to perl (can copy 1st line of
   PilotMgr.pm)
2. replace /home/pilotmgr with correct path to pilotmgr installation
3. replace /dev/ttya with correct serial port device
4. replace "myname" with name you want
5. chmod a+x thisscript
6. ./thisscript

good luck,
