Hi - I purchased a home that came with a Nortel BCM system and had two
questions for anyone who can help!

1. The installer (who has now left the area) apparently put a password
that prevents the user from changing anything. I had wanted to rename
extensions and change the time/date, as well as set up a voice
mailbox, but cannot.

I saw on old postings from this group that Feature **266344 should
enter programming mode, and the default password is 266344 (or
"CONFIG"). When I type Feature **266344, I am asked for a user id,
and then a password. No matter what I type, I get back "denied in
admin". (The postings, however, mentioned just a password that would
need to be entered).

Does anyone know how to reset this?

2. I have call waiting and simply don't know which button to press to
put the current call on hold and take the new call coming in. There
doesn't appear to be a "flash" key.

Thanks very much. I am in the San Francisco Bay Area and if there are
any techs who can solve the problem onsite please contact me as well.

Well, flash is "Feature 71", called LINK by the folks up north. Every BCM I
have worked on is a giant PITA. They are sent to me pre-programmed and all I
have to do (theoretically) is wire them up. Then we go into patches and
upgrades and resets etc.My tech support works on them through the net and I
very seldom program. But what I am getting at is they all have a different
user ID, not sure if there is a default.

Hi!
We're in Australia, but I'd imagine our systems are the same as yours.
I've a limited experience with BCM's, but my work partner is the gun
(so he says! ;o) ) I will ask him in the morning and se eif he has
the answer to your dillema.
Cheers!

OK, the guru I work with has never used the "config - config" but
instead used "admin2 - 9999"
Try that and see if it will let you in to change the default admin
password.

Thanks for all the assistance. I was able to do this via:

Feature ** 266344
UserId: 738662
P/W: 266344

Does anyone know how I can get the Element Manager software?
