Re: [PilotMgr] Forgetting the date

[Ken Hsieh <ken.hsieh@xxxxxxx>]

Here is my experience of working around this issue.
First, try "soft reset". If it doesn't work for you 
try "hard reset". Of cause, you will need to backup 
all your data before you do hard reset.

Also, there are two FAQs on Palm's web site.
