How do you change passwords without knowing previous passwords in order to change voicemail greeting??

In our office we have NEC Dterm80 phones with Elitemail Voicemail and now that we have new employees we need to change the voicemail greeting but in order to do so we need new passwords because our previous employees did not give us their passwords for our future employees. How can we change these passwords without knowing the previous ones??

SOURCE: How do you change passwords without knowing previous passwords in order to change voicemail greeting??

Actually, even as a technician, you will never know the origonal password.
But you can get in to reset the existing password back to 0 0 0 0.

There are a couple of steps; depending on your voicemail system, voicemail's are done differently, but try this first.

got to a M7310 set
-> dial FEATURE 9 8 3
-> password: 1 0 2 0 0 0 0
-> you should now see ADMIN and under that MBOX, AA, OTHR
press MBOX
-> press CHNG
-> dial the extension of the phones that you need changed
-> you should now see PASSWORD and under it RESET, press RESET (This resets the mailbox back to 4- zero's)
-> hit the * to back up and repeat fopr all the other extensions.
-> hit RLS after all is done and voila... you have now changed those passwords to those mailboxes.

Now when the new users dial F981 at their desks, and dial 0 0 0 0 the first prompt they get is pleasde change password.

NEC Dterm80 red message light keeps blinking. Need to reset. Belonged to previous employee and do not know pswd. please advise how to reset.

I'm not an NE guru but I work on many others.
You really need an administrator for the Voicemail to reset the password.

Try this.

From an admin phone, enter the voicemail. Then select More, Mgr, ChBox, then enter the ext# you need to reset the password on. Then choose Reset Password (Select Yes when the system asks you if want to reset the password). You can access the reset extension's voicemail by entering the default code (0327).

Good luck.

Is there a way to change the password on the phone system if you don't know the current password?

If you're talking about the voicemail for your extension, the person who is the voicemail administrator in your office can reset yours to whatever is default for your system. If you just got that ext and want to start fresh, and your ext doesn't own any additional mailboxes, have the administrator delete then re-add you mailbox, you'll be at default and can record your own name and greeting. If your ext owns extra mailboxes, don't delete the mailbox or the other mailboxes will also be deleted, such as the reception general mailbox, or the one that gives your companies greeting when someone calls at night. If your talking about the system programming password, that's typically a system tech thing and not given out.

Trying to change night ringer voicemail

Ok. You will have to find someone who has access to system manager, or has system manager rights for their mailbox.

They will then be able to select System Manager Options, then Change the Greetings. It will tell you which mode you are in, and ask you if you want to change to Holiday Mode. The responses are 1 for YES and 2 for NO. Say no to Holiday Mode, and then it will go thru Day Mode and then Night Mode, playing each one first then asking if you want to change it.

If you must call in a service order with your phone system vendor, make sure he/she not only assigns someone's box with manager access, but also creates a back-door box with manager access. This way you won't be messing with the original Manager Box. It gets expensive having NEC decipher the Manager's password if it gets changed and no one remembers it.
