If a subscriber forgets his or her
password, you must reassign, through the Subscriber screen, a default
password to allow the subscriber to again log in to the AUDIX system.
The subscriber should then change the default password to a unique,
personal password.
To reassign a password:
- Start at the Administration
main menu and select:
Global Administration
Messaging Administration
The system displays the SSH
User Authentication dialog box. Enter your login, for example, sa or vm,
in the User name field and your password in the Password
field. Click Login. The system then displays the AUDIX
Command Prompt screen.
- At the
enter
command: prompt, enter change subscriber name/extension
where name/extension is either the name or the telephone extension
of the subscriber. See Changing Subscriber
Data for more information.
The system displays the
Subscriber screen, Page 1, which contains
current subscriber data.
- Type a default
password into the
Password: field.
We recommend that you enter
a password that is shorter than the required length (as specified
on the System-Parameters Features screen) so that the subscriber must
change the password on the next login.
The system places some
constraints on passwords to improve security. A password cannot:
- Be the same number as
the extension
- Be all of the same digit
(if more than one digit is entered). For example, 1111 is not allowed.
- Be a string of consecutive
numbers. For example, 12345 or 7654 are not allowed.
- Press F3 (Enter)
to save the change to the system database.
The cursor returns to the
command line, and the system displays the following message:
Command Successfully
Completed
- Enter another
administrative command at the
enter command:
prompt.
