Polycom VVX 300 manual Locking the Phone, Changing Your Password, To change your user password

Chapter 3: Using Advanced Features

If a phone requires a user login, you may be able to place calls to authorized numbers when the phone is in the logged-out state. If your system administrator has set up emergency numbers on the phone, you can place calls to the standard emergency number, such as 911, and up to five other authorized numbers. You won’t be able to call any other numbers until you log in to the phone.

To place a call to an authorized number from a phone in the logged-out state:

1Press New Call.

2From the Place an Authorized Call screen, select the number you want to call, and press Dial.

Changing Your Password

Note: User Password Security Best Practices
