5.1 Lost Password
If you have set a password and later forget what it was, you will not be
able to access your encrypted private records. The only way to recover
from this situation and reset your password is to erase the application
data.
-
If you have any private records which were not encrypted (because
they were created without a password,) change them so they are not
private.
-
Export a backup copy of your To Do list (see section Exporting To Do data), but do not include private records.
-
Exit the To Do application, and open up the Android Settings.
(The following sequence may vary depending on your version of
Android.)
-
Choose “Apps”
-
Choose “To Do”.
-
Select “Storage & Cache”
-
Press the “Clear storage” button, and confirm that you really want
to do this.
-
Exit all the way out of the Android Settings, and go back to the To Do
application. It should now be empty.
-
Import the file you had previously backed up. (See section Importing To Do data)
-
If you had any records which were private but not encrypted, change them
back to private.
-
Set a new password. Make sure you remember this one!
