I've only tested this with version 4.0 of the Palm Desktop software. Palm allows you set a password on the desktop software. Without a password you are not able to view the data. There is a way to bypass and get rid of the desktop password. On an existing Palm Desktop make sure the password is set. Once it asks you for the password you need to press Alt-F or Alt-H to get the menu structure. Once you have the menu pulled down you navigate to Tools | Options and select the Security tab. Once there you can uncheck the [] Require password to access the Palm desktop. Click OK and then cancel out and exit. The next time you restart the Palm desktop software the password will be gone and anyone can view your data.
