The power-on password utility has disappeard from my PDA. I tried a hard reset which brought back the icon in the system menu, but when I then restored from backup, it disappeard again and so if I lose my PDA it is unprotected.

I downloaded a 3rd party password program (Touch Password) but it will not install. No error message, it just doesn't install.

The only program I've added to the Flash Rom is Tweaks2k2.net which I use to direct mail attachments onto the storage card. Programs on the storage card are: Winmobile Lens, Belkin G700 Keyboard, KSE Truefax and FolderLock, but the password was working with all of those installed until recently. I know I can use the encryption in Folderlock to protect data but I still want the device password to work.

Any ideas if this is a virus, a program conflict, or just a corrupted OS file? Is it possible to reinstall or repair Winmobile PPC 2003? Thanks for any suggestions.

My guess is it's a software confict. Hard reset then do not restore from backup, and install applications one by one to see what program cause the problem.

Thanks AnswerDude.
The hard reset, new partnership and reinstalling all programs fixed the problem. There's no program conflict now so it must have been some glitch saved in backup/restore.
