I think you have a misconception of the purpose of the Owner Information. It's there so an honest person that finds your PPC knows who to return it to. If you password protect the entire unit as Aximal suggests, nobody will be able to change the information without the password but it will show when the unit restarts if you have the box checked.

Of course, this info does not survive a hard reset so it wouldn't matter if you were able to specifically password protect the info. All anyone would need to do to clear it is remove the battery for a while.
