I'm locked out of the voicemail feature and I can't find a way of activating a new password to pick up messages. It's a Nortel T7208 system. Has anyone any ideas?

After entering the mailbox access F981, press "#", the display should change from Pswd: to Log:. Now, enter the alternate mailbox number followed by the password for that box and "#". The remainder of the prompts should be the same as accessing the 'native' mailbox.

your mailbox number is the last 4 digits of your phone number

The feature is called "Call Forward/No Answer" - the procedure is in the Norstar System manual.

I dial my number and press ** when the VM picks up, then it should run you through the regular login process.

To reset password on any tel set go to main set and press feature 983 this gets you in to programming you need a password and default password is normly
120000 for 2 digit locals and 1020000 for 3 digit locals etc.enter this password and press ok go in to
mbox type in mailbox press change , press reset password. hope this works

There is this thing on Norstar systems called Reply message... this turns on your voicemail light, but there is on messages when you go into the mailbox.

Try this: FEATURE # 6 5
There might be something on you set that will tell you who sent the message, and you can hit the # or press the OK button to cancel this message!

Good Luck.

What password is no longer valid? The admin, the operator, the installer?

What are you pressing to log in?

Generally, you dial feature 981 to get in, then extension number and password. If you have no new messages it will say that, then give you the option to review old messages. To delete a message you press 76. If that doesn't work, login to your mailbox, press 8* then 6 to get to "go to message" then press the message number and #. If you have an on-site administrator, they can delete your mailbox as well, otherwise you will have to call your tech help service and have them erase it remotely.

Have you set up the voicemail before?

OK, from your set;
-> dial FEATURE 9 8 1 (this is the code to get you to the voicemail)
-> then your passcode, if you never set up the voicemail, the temporary password is 0 0 0 0 (four - zero's).
-> if this is a new installed voicemail, the telephone system will tell you al that you need to initiate the voicemail box.
