I have a locked call barring password on nokia n8. I can't change any of the voice mailbox settngs, I either get the message "not allowed" or "conflict error". I want to change the settings but I bought this phone second hand and haven't entered any passwords.

I am going to include a link to the administrator guide for you to download (its in pdf format). However here is what I found in the admin guide:

To change a password:
1. Access the voice mail administrator's mailbox and menu (see page 53).
2. Say "Mailbox Maintenance" or press to access the Mailbox/Group List Maintenance
option.
3. Say or enter the mailbox or extension ID to be accessed. You hear the Personal Options
Menu.
4. Say "Password" or press .
5. If you want a password, enter a new password using digits 0-9 (up to 12 digits) and
press when you are done.Voice mail plays back the password.
If you do not want to use a password, say "Skip" or press . Voice mail announces
that you have chosen not to have a password.
6. Say "Accept" or press to accept the password as entered, or say "Re-enter" or press
to erase and re-enter the password.
7. Hang up or press to return to the previous menu.

If this is not the right section then maybe one of these admin guides will help:

Hope it all goes well for you

Hello Debb,

True, it's not in the "handbook" because it's in the subcriber's guide to whatever voice mail system you have. Try looking for it, but in the meantime, dial 165 and see what happens. If it's a Panasonic brand TVx box, it should answer and either ask for a passoword or you'll be listening to messages.

The owner of the voice mail system, called the message manager, will have the password for mailbox 998. That's where general delivery messages get left sometimes. The system owner has the password for mailbox 999. That's the administrator's mailbox and it lets you change passwords and set up the dial by name directory.

The voice mailbox is a network service to which you may need to subscribe. For more
information, contact your service provider.

To call your voice mailbox, press and hold 1.
To edit your voice mailbox number, select Menu > Messaging > Voice messages >
Voice mailbox no..

If you recieve the message "mailbox locked" then the password was incorrectlyentered too many times.
To reset your password press feature 983
the screen should say log:
enter 1020000 (default password) if you have a 3 digit intercom number, 120000 if you have a 2 digit intercom number
the display should say mbox, AA, and othr above the three soft keys
press the mbox soft key
the screen should say add, del, and chng above the soft keys
press the chng soft key
enter in the mailbox number you wish to reset the password on
press ok
the screen should say reset and next above the soft keys
press the reset soft key
press the Rls key
your password should be reset to 0000

As far as setting up your Mailbox, press your open mailbox key or press feature 981.
When prompted to enter your password enter the password of 0000.
The voice mail will make you change and confirm your password at this point. your password can be between 4 and 8 digits but cannot start with a 0.
after the password is changed the voice mail will make you record your name for the company directory. once the name recording is accepted, the mailbox will be at your main screen.
To record a greeting for your mail box,
"8"for admin
"2" for greetings
"1" for record
"1" for primary greeting
"'1" to record your greeting
at the tone record your greeting
"#" to end recording
after you record press 1 to listen 2 to retry or # to accept
press "rls" key when finished

f that doesnt work, can you acces the admin mailbox (Mailbox Zero - 0)? In admin you can initialize the password.

Make sure that your mailbox has been set up by changing the password and recording a name for the company directory. if its an existing mailbox it could also be full.

If you have a Panasonic voice mail system, you were given 2 passwords to mailboxes 998 and 999. 998 is the message manager's mailbox, and 999 is the System Manager's mailbox. When you call into your voice mail system, press #6*999 and enter the password + #.

It may be different, but option 6 1 1 should get you to mailbox management. Enter your mailbox and one of the options will be reset password. Eaxy, huh?

There are two extra mailboxes in a Panasonic brand voice mail, one for the message manager and one for the sytsem manager.
You reset passwords from the system manager's mailbox. Dial into the system and key in the codes to get to the system manager's mailbox. and select option 6 1 1 and the mailbox number. One of the options will be to reset the password :-)
