Activesync wont use same device ID after IPAQ Battery fail..

Create a new account with a new name and once synced drag and drop the
contents of your organisers old My Document directory into the new
directory. Once you've keyed in the settings you had before everything
should work as before.

If you actually have a full backup, let AS connect the 'new' device as a
guest. You can then use the restore function to restore from the backup
file. After the restore, you will soft rest, and your device will be back
the way it was at your last backup. Be prepared for a few glitches if you
sync'd a few times since the last backup, but it will straighten out.
