Changing Your
Password
You use the same 4-digit to 10-digit password to log in to the NBX NetSet
utility and to access your NBX voice mail. You can change this password
with your telephone (using the NBX voice prompts or a feature code) or
through the NBX NetSet utility.
To set up your password for the first time, see Table 4 and “NBX NetSet
Utility” in Chapter 1 . Table 4 also describes how to change your
password.
If you forget your password, the administrator can set it to be your
extension number. Then follow the instructions in
Table 4 in Chapter 1 to
change it to a more secure password. Also see “Security Tips” next.
If your NBX system uses a messaging system other than NBX Messaging:
■
Use the feature code method described in Table 4 in Chapter 1 to set
and change the NBX NetSet password.
■
3Com recommends that you use the same password for your voice
messaging system and for the NBX NetSet utility.
