Your voicemail password is a 4 digit number that you enter when you want to listen to your voicemail messages from any other phone other than your mobile phone - this is called remote access. This voicemail password gives you the protection to know that only you can listen to your voicemails.
It is vital that your password is set to a random 4 digit password. To change your password, all you need to do is:

1. Dial 173 from your mobile
2. You will then be asked to pick a 4 digit number, and then press the # button
3. If you are happy press press 2

Your password is all set up and you will be prompted to enter it whenever you want to listen to your voicemails through remote access.You will only need to use this password when accessing your voicemails from another phone. You will not need to use this password when accessing your voicemail from your own mobile phone - you simply dial 171 as normal
You can reset your voicemail pass code by dialing 611 or 1 800 331 0500

You need to know the Voicemail access code... I generally set this up as 77, but other installers will set it with a different number. This will be the same number that others in your office dials to reach Voicemail when they have a message.

Your mailbox will also need to be created in the Voicemail system. When you call into it, it should recognize you and prompt you for a passcode. The Mitel Embedded Voicemail system default passcode is 1111. You will be prompted to set up the mailbox and change the passcode.

If this doesn't help, contact your site administrator or vendor.
