Changing the Mailbox Access Code
You can set an access code for your mailbox. This access code will be requested whenever you access
the mailbox to collect messages. When set the access code must be between 4 and 15 digits in length.
Setting and changing a mailbox access code can be done by your system administrator. You can also do
it yourself through the mailbox as follows:
1. Dial *17 from your extension.
2. If your mailbox already has an access code set, you will be prompted to enter it. Enter you
access code.
3. Dial *04.
4. When asked for the access code enter your current access code and #. If you have no current
access code just press #.
5. Enter your new access code followed by #. Ensure that the code is at least four digits in length. If
you enter a short code you will be prompted to enter a longer code.
To remove an exist access code and return the mailbox to not having an access code,
just press #.
Do not set an obvious code, for example:
Do not match your extension number.
Do not use a sequence of digits, eg. 1234.
Do not use the same repeated digit, eg. 1111.
6. Re-enter your new access code followed by #.The access code will now be changed.
7. The system will prompt you if the codes do not match or is not acceptable. It will also confirm the
change of access code if successful.
