Password Security

Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password

1.

Please provide all system passwords to the customer.

2.

To avoid unauthorized access and possible abuse of the PBX, keep the passwords secret, and
inform the customer of the importance of the passwords, and the possible dangers if they become
known to others.

3.

The PBX has default passwords preset. For security, change these passwords the first time that
you program the PBX.

4.

Change the passwords periodically.

5.

It is strongly recommended that passwords of 10 numbers or characters be used for maximum
protection against unauthorized access. For a list of numbers and characters that can be used in
system passwords, refer to "3.1.3 Entering Characters" in the Feature Guide.

6.

If a system password is forgotten, it can be found by loading a backup of the system data into a
PC, and checking the password using the KX-TAW848 Maintenance Console software. If you do
not have a backup of the system data, you must reset the PBX to its factory defaults and reprogram
it. Therefore, we strongly recommend maintaining a backup of the system data. For more
information on how to back up the system data, refer to the on-line help of the Maintenance
Console.
However, as system passwords can be extracted from backup copies of the system data file, do
not allow unauthorized access to these files.
