About mailbox passwords
Each mailbox is protected by a password established by the mailbox owner. When you add a 
mailbox to CallPilot Manager, the password 0000 is assigned. This is the default password.
To use a mailbox, a mailbox owner must change the default password. The new password must be 
four to eight digits in length and cannot start with a zero.
If a mailbox owner cannot remember the password, you can reset the password to the default 
password 0000. Refer to 
Incorrect password lock-out
In its Class of Service each mailbox is assigned a maximum number of incorrect password 
attempts. CallPilot records the number of incorrect attempts from the last time the mailbox was 
accessed successfully. If the number is exceeded, the mailbox owner is “locked-out”. The mailbox 
cannot be opened until the password is reset. Refer to 
Password expiry
In its Class of Service each mailbox is assigned the maximum number of days a password remains 
active. If the maximum number of days is exceeded, the mailbox password expires. The mailbox 
owner can open the mailbox, but cannot access messages or perform other mailbox functions until 
they change the password. Unless the telephone has a two-line display, this announcement plays 
when the mailbox is opened after the password expires:
“Your current password has expired. You must change your password.
Please enter your new password and press  
£.
After the new password is entered the mailbox returns to normal operation.
Warning: 
Change the System Administrator password frequently to minimize the 
risk of unauthorized activity.
Warning: 
Set the Class of Service for password expiry to a low value so that mailbox 
owners must changed their password frequently. A mailbox with a Class of Service 
with a high or indefinite password expiry interval setting is vulnerable to unauthorized 
access.
