4.Select the Set New Password button and press OK.

Setting the User Password

Note: 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.

Controlling Remote Administration

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.
