 ====== Android Phone Notes ======
+===== Reset a Locked Phone =====
+These instructions apply to the situation in which someone has set the lock code and can't remember it.  The result is a "wipe data/factory reset".
+  - Power off phone (hold red button, select power off).
+  - Turn on phone (red button) while holding the Home button.  Should see an exclamation point in a triangle and a phone icon.
+  - Open keyboard.
+  - Select ALT+W to wipe the phone.
+All user data and installed programs are lost.

+. Wi-Fi settings.

-<code>
-  % adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf x.txt
-</code>
-  - Copy the text below into your (scratch) ''x.txt'' file.  Be sure to edit in your login id and password (sigh).

-  - Copy your modified ''x.txt'' file back out to the ''wpa_supplicant.conf'' file.
-<code>
-% adb push x.txt /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

-  - Turn off WiFi, and then turn it back on.  If that doesn't do it, then reboot the phone...
-<code>
-% adb shell
-# reboot

-Thanks, Charlie.
+That should do it and PAL2.0 should connect.
