Passwords
To protect the mailbox, as soon as its password is initialized, the subscriber should
log in to the mailbox and change the password. Failure to do so leaves the mailbox
unprotected.
When you initialize a password, all other information associated with the mailbox
remains unchanged, including greetings, messages, and so on.
If you forget the System Administrator’s mailbox password or the System
Administration Password, or if the System Administrator’s mailbox needs to be
unlocked, call for support as instructed on the inside front cover of this book. You
should have the following information available:
System Administrator’s mailbox number.
Serial number of the system. (The serial number is located on the right side
panel of the mail system unit. See Figure 2-5 in Chapter 2, “Installation,” for the
location of the serial number label.)
Phone number of the Remote Maintenance Device.
Related Mail System Features
If a user forgets his or her mailbox password or a mailbox is locked because
