I installed a screenshot utility recently. After playing around with it, I uninstalled it. The utility creates an image folder to store the screen captures and this folder is owned by root. I have a console app installed, but can't remove this folder as a normal user (naturally). However, I don't have the default root password to remove this directory. I tried "root" and a blank password, with no luck. I also tried running the console app as root, which works, but I'm still a normal user that can't delete the directory. Does anyone know the default root password for the Sharp ROM on the 6000 series? Thanks.

Odd. When I use su I never get asked for a password. It just logs me in as root.

do you have the passcode enabled (I'm assuming the 6000 has the same passcode option all the Zs have)? If you do, then the password is the same 4 numeric entries. If you don't, then you would not (by default) be prompted for a password.

My last PDA got stolen with some sensitive information on it, so I made sure to put a passcode on it. Sure enough, that's my root password. Thanks, I have control over my own PDA now.

Hello All,
Speaking of Passcodes. I _don't_ use mine, because I don't want to enter it everytime I turn on the unit. But as pcgamingsolutions, it would be better to not have everything wide open.
So that being said, are there any options between None and Everytime?
I guess I am looking for something like my old Newton which also allowed: "Once a day", "Once an hour"
TIA
Craig...
