AT&T 3 manual Programming Initializing a Mailbox Password, Setting the Minimum Password Length

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 2-5in 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 of too many unsuccessful Iogin attempts, you can reinitialize the password. See Mailbox for the initialization procedure.

■The System Administrator’s Mailbox is used for all administration of the mail system.
