Local User and Administrator Passwords
Several local settings menus are protected with user and administrator passwords. The phone will prompt
you for a user or administrator password before you can access certain menu options. If the phone
requires the administrator password, you may be able to use the user password, but you will be
presented with limited menu options. If the phone prompts you for the user password, you may use the
administrator password (you will see the same menus as the user). The Web Configuration Utility is
protected by the user and administrator password and displays different features and options depending
on which password you use. The default user password is 123 and the default administrator password is
456. You should change the administrator password from the default value. You may want to change the
user password for security reasons, see the table Local User and Admininstrator Password Settings for all
parameters.
