Setting your Voicemail Password

Your Voicemail PIN is used for checking your voicemail or changing your greeting for your extension when accessing voicemail from the phone.  This article will explain what you can do if you lost or need to set your Voicemail PIN.  

What is my Extensions' Voicemail password?

For increased security the Fonality Voicemail System is provisioned with randomized passwords.  Direct customers are sent an email containing password information and all customers have access to update voicemail passwords using the web admin interface.  

If you have lost or need to reset your password and you are not the PBX administrator but know your web user name and password you can login to your panel and change your password there.  If you do not know either your Voicemail PIN or web username and password, please see your administrator or reseller.
