Feature 983 log in is 120000 (if 2 digit extension, 1020000 if 3 digit, 10020000 if 4 digit extensions)
Select Mbox, enter that locked extensions mail box number, You will see password RESET. Select RESET. Release out. This will reset that mail box password to 0000. Use feature 981 on that phone and enter the new default password of 0000. you will then be prompted to change the password.



So in other words, try 1020000, 10020000, 120000

    I am having the same problem, except my locked mailbox is the reception phone and I thought the extensions were 0 and 300, and I'm resetting it and it's not working. Please help.

    Feature 985 will show you a phone's extension

  • juliehand Jun 02, 2011

    Hi - just got off the phone (paid $50 for this if you can believe it!), if you think your extension is 0 or something else, trying 100 (for reception). Also, if using Feature 983, and trying log is 12000 (or 1020000 or 10020000), try replacing those 0's with 1's (i.e., 12111, 1021111, 10021111). This should work

    Yay! This worked. The only thing was the term "Release out" to me means: "hang up".

Nortel 7208, locked out of mailbox. Forgot password. tried 120000; says "locked out" can't get in. It is work phone need to get messages. Please help.

To reset the password on the mail box you need to go to a M7310 phone on your system. It has 3 buttons under the display. You need to press the "Feature" button and 983, then enter the password 120000 (this one is used if you have 2 digit extensions 1020000 is used if you have 3 digit extensions) . Next in the display you will see mbox-AA-othr above the soft keys. Press the button below mbox. Next enter your extension number. After that you should see the screen to reset your password. This will reset the password to 0000. When you go back to your own extension and log in to your mailbox it will prompt you to change your password. If you password120000 or 1020000 doesn't work try 121111 or 1021111, the last 4 digits are the password for the admin mailbox.

Nortel phone - VM box locked contact admin - tried solutions & no luck

Hi Lyndsay,

Have you tried feature 985, and then press 9, and enter the passed resetsmppwd? That should reset the login on feature 983 to 1020000 for three digit extensions, or 102000 for two digit extensions. Once you get into there, you can reset the mailbox password for the general delivery mailbox. Depending on your system, even though the general delivery mailbox might be on extension 363, the mailbox number is likely to be 100.
