CallPilot 150 Telephone Administration Guide
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 “To change a mailbox” on page 32.
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 “To change a mailbox” on page 32.
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.
