Nortel T7316E callpilot voicemail is locked and our admin does not know how to unlock. When we use feature 983 we see "log" and when we enter 102000 and other variations we get another screen asking for password if we reenter we get "invalid password" and mailbox locked message

You would need to log in as the voicemail admin using "Feature 983" followed by 102 (if you have 3 digit extension numbers) then the voicemail admin password. From there you can select MBOX and reset the password to 0000 for the mailbox in question.

feature 985 shows you your vm extension #.
feature 983 then try 1029999 (if password was changed to 9999 or something else)
or maybe feature 983 then 738662 'ok' then 266344 'ok'. depending on the norstar system you have.
