Our Feature 983 Admin password was changed by mistake and doesn't work anymore and I tried the default one of 1020000 and it will not work either. How do I reset this password?

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 the extension of the phone you are using.

So in other words, try 1020000, 10020000, 120000

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.

Here are a couple things to check...

Press Feature * 0 and then press you intercom button - This will identify the extension # of the phone you are using/ This will also identify any button on the phone

assumming your extension is 3 digits;
enter Feature 983 and at the log prompt enter 1020000 then press ok. This is 102 for the mb and 0000 for the password. If you get successfully logged in you can choose mbox then change and then enter your mb # . The first thing you will see is PASSWORD with RESET under password. Press the softkey under reset to rest the password to 0000. Now try to log back into your mb using 0000 as the password.

If you can't get into the admin mb with 1020000 then do this to reset the password for the admin mb..
