8. Passwords
How It Works
Norstar Passwords are an optional feature that can be activated to
prevent abuse of your telephone system. The following two types
of passwords can be programmed:
Administration password: When activated, this code of six
digits or less must be entered before any Administration tasks
can be performed. The Administration Password prevents any
unauthorized changes to Norstar Administration settings.
.
Restriction passwords: Your Norstar system supports up to
100 four-digit codes which can be used to override all call
Restrictions in your system. When Restriction Passwords are
implemented, they are usually provided only to senior
executives of the company and others whose jobs require them
to make long-distance calls.

Copy your Passwords in a safe place. If you lose the
Administration password, you will not be able to access Norstar
Administration. There is a section for recording your Passwords in
the Job Aids chapter of this Guide, but you may wish to record the
passwords elsewhere if this Guide is made available to your entire
office.
For security purposes, it is a good idea to change passwords
periodically. The procedure for doing this is described in the
following pages.
