User password

Your User password protects your individual configurations, including your lan-
guage settings. You can also use the User password to lock your telephone
page 88.

The administrator may have configured the following settings:
• The password is deactivated: You do not have the option of configuring user
settings. The message "Password is disabled" is displayed.
• The password is temporarily locked: You do not have the option of configuring
user settings at this time. The message "Password is suspended" is displayed.
• After initially logging on to a user area, you may have to replace the default
password with a new password.
• A password can have a predefined period of validity: You will have to create a
new password when the period ends. The message "Change (x days left)" will
alert you to this at the appropriate time. The message "Password has expired"
appears when the validity period is over. Confirm "Passwort ändern" and
change the password as described in this section.
• If you repeatedly enter the wrong password (2 to 5 times), additional attempts
are blocked. You can make another attempt after a predefined time.
• It is possible that you will not be able to re-use a previously used password for
a period of time, which means you have to create another "new password".
• Your administrator can tell you about the rules for what and how many charac-
ters can or must be used in the password.
