10 Chapter 2 Setting up your mailbox

Changing your mailbox password

You can change your mailbox password at any time. A password must be from four to eight digits
long and cannot start with zero. It is recommended that you change your password every 30 days.
Keep your mailbox secure by choosing an uncommon password, not a predictable password like
1234 or 1111. Avoid giving your password to your co-workers. If someone else knows your
password, they can access your mailbox and listen to or delete your messages.

Password lock-out

For security reasons, the System Administrator can assign each mailbox a maximum number of
incorrect password attempts. If the number is reached, you are locked out. You cannot access your
mailbox until the password is reset. Ask your System Administrator to reset the password.

Password expiry

Mailboxes can be assigned a maximum number of days that a password remains active. If you
open your mailbox after your password expires, you hear the message "Your current password has
expired.You must change your password. Please enter your new password, then press
