Changing Your Login Password

You can change your password from any phone that you’re logged in to.

By default, login passwords are factory preset to the numerals 123. Your administrator can change this default password if needed. Polycom recommends that you change your password when you first log in to a phone. Your user ID is managed only by your administrator, meaning you cannot change it yourself.

To change your login password:

1.Log in to any phone on your network.

2.From the idle screen, press , and then select Features > User Login > Change User Login Password.

3.From the Change User Login Password screen, enter your old password, enter a new password and confirm it, and then press the Enter soft key.

Your password is changed. The next time you log in to a phone, you’ll need to enter this password.

Locking the Phone

Lock your phone to do the following:

Prevent unauthorized outgoing calls.

Allow only authorized people to answer calls.

Prevent people from viewing or modifying phone information, such as your directory or call lists.

When your phone is locked:

You can only make an outgoing call to a number from a list of authorized numbers.

You must enter a password to answer incoming calls.

All keys and screen items are disabled, except those that allow you to unlock the phone or make an authorized call.

The messages The phone is locked and Authorized calls only scroll on the status bar. Messages that displayed before the phone was locked don’t display.

You can unlock the phone by entering your user password. If your phone restarts for any reason while it’s locked, it will be locked when the phone restarts unless your phone is configured to start up unlocked.
