User password

Your User password protects your individual configura-
tions, including your language settings. You can also use
the User password to lock your telephone  page 125.
The administrator may have configured the follow-
ing 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 blocked: You do not
have the option of configuring user settings at this
time. The message "Password.suspended" is dis-
played.
• After initially logging onto a user area, you may have
to replace the default password with a new pass-
word.
• A password can have a predefined period of validity:
You will have to create a new password when the
period ends. The message "Change Password ({1}
days left)" will alert you to this at the appropriate
time. The message "Password has expired" appears
when the validity period is over. Confirm "Change
password" 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 pre-
viously used password for a long time, so you will
have to create another "new password".
• Your administrator can tell you about the rules for
what and how many characters can or must be used
in the password.
The preset password "000000" corresponds to a
blank password. In other words, the phone can-
not be locked and the user menu is not pass-
word-protected (see also  page 124)
