"OK", indicating that you can enter the new SETUP password as follows:
AT#s=uuuuuuuuuu<CR>
You can select any combination of keyboard characters (upper/lower case sensitive) between six
and ten characters long.
Erase Callback Password #RCBNxx
This command erases the single callback password specified by xx (0 through 29).
Erase Callback Phone Number #RDNxx

xx (0 through 29).
