If you forget the password, you will have to have your watch initialized (which returns all time settings to their initial factory defaults) in order to access the e-DATA MEMORY again. To have the watch initialized, contact the store or dealer where you purchased it, and ask to have the AC operation performed.

To register a new password

• Make sure you press C to return to the Password Setting screen after inputting all four digits.
