I used feature 983 to delete a few old mailboxes. Once I completed that, I no longer had access to features 983 or 981, because it is now telling me that my passwords are incorrect. How do I reset these features and passwords?

It sounds like you've either deleted your own mailbox or reset the password to 0000 and changed the password to the administrator mailbox. To reset the administrator pasword enter feature 985 press 9, at the password prompt enter 73738767793 (resetsmpwsd) and press ok or #,press yes to reset password. password should be defaulted to 0000. then try Feature 983. if your system has 2 digit intercom #s your password is 120000. 1020000 if you have 3 digit intercom numbers. Once that's done you can go into admin programming to default your password back to 0000.

    ok, to program a button for voice mail press feature *3, then the button you wish to be the open voice mail key. and press feature 981. As far as accessing the generial delivery mailbox, using the open voicemail key on the extension you programmed to recieve the generial delivery messagesshould get you there but, if you wish to access the generial delivery mailbox from any other set you can press your open mailbox key, press the OTHR soft key and enter in the generial delivery mailbox number and password (100xxxx, ok),

    also the class of service shouldn't matter too much for the general delivery. I usually use COS 3 because it has a decent message length time and a password expiree of 90 days.

Unable to access voicemail feature inactive

This means the system can no longer communicate with the voice mail. You can try to locate the voice mail and power cycle the unit to resolve the issue, If you still get inactive feature after the reboot you will need to replace the vms.

My MBOX is locked on my T7316E Nortel phone. Also, trying to retrieve messages from home I somehow changed the password and I don't know what it is.

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.


Feature 985 will show you your mailbox extension

I have tried feature 981, 982, 983 etc. and I get the message "Inactive feature". What is the problem.

First make sure u r using Voicemail system which is either Star talk or call pilot.
If u r any one of this then only u can use F 981, 982 , 983 or 985. Its a feature code of voice mail.
If u r using either of this and still gettin inactive feature, then try with rebooting The Satr talk or call pilot i.e. switch off from mains wait for few mins and switch it back on.
After rebooting it will take 15-20 mins to boot up the system and after that u can use these feature.

Thanks.

Please use the Feature 981 enter your password. You really should ask your Administrator to delete your mailbox and re-add it.
