Avaya recommends that you protect the administrator preferences with a secure password 
to prevent occasional users from changing them. To change the administrator password, 
follow these steps:

1.

From the System Menu, access Administrator Preferences : Security : Passwords.

2.

Enter a new password in the New Password field below Administrator Password and 
press OK.

If you did not change the administrator password during initial configuration, the 
default password is 1 2 3 4.

3.

Re-enter the new password in the Confirm Password field and press OK.

4.

Select the Set New Password button and press OK.

You can set a user password to control access to User Preferences screens. By default, the 
user password is not set. 

If you set a user password, you can also access the User Preferences screens with 
the administrator password.

To set the user password, follow these steps:

1.

From the System Menu, access Administrator Preferences : Security : Passwords.

2.

Enter a new password in the New Password field below User Password and press 
OK.

3.

Re-enter the new password in the Confirm Password field and press OK.

4.

Select the Set New Password button and press OK.

By default, remote access to an Avaya 1010/1020 system through the web (http), SNMP, 
and ssh is enabled; remote access through a telnet session is disabled. To enable or disable 
remote access through any of these mechanisms, configure preferences in Administrator 
Preferences : Security : General.
