I have some 7960 SIP phones who's password was changed from the default password of cisco to something else. Is there a password override or some other way to get into the settings? Thanks in advanced.
 
Press the settings key.

Press **#.

The lock symbol in the upper right corner of your LCD should be in an unlocked state.

Hope this helps.

 
Hi u can try a factory reset

Unplug the power cable from the phone, and then plug in the cable again.

The phone begins its power up cycle.

Immediately press and hold # and while the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons begin to flash in sequence, release #.

The Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons flash in sequence in order to indicate that the phone waits for you to enter the key sequence for the reset.

Press 123456789*0# within 60 seconds after the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons begin to flash.

If you repeat a key within the sequence, for example, if you press 1223456789*0#, the sequence is still accepted and the phone resets.

If you do not complete this key sequence or do not press any keys, after 60 seconds, the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons no longer flash, and the phone continues with its normal startup process. The phone does not reset.

If you enter an invalid key sequence, the buttons no longer flash, and the phone continues with its normal startup process. The phone does not reset.

If you enter this key sequence correctly, the phone displays this prompt:

Keep network cfg? 1 = yes 2 = no

In order to maintain the current network configuration settings for the phone when the phone resets, press 1. In order to reset the network configuration settings when the phone resets, press 2.

If you press another key or do not respond to this prompt within 60 seconds, the phone continues with its normal startup process and does not reset. Otherwise, the phone goes through the factory reset process.


Otherwise in the following blog it has been given how to convert cisco ip phones to SIP mode...here by altering some steps i think u can reset password....

i think it is possible to upload only SIP001121F11A5A.cnf
file using tftp server to ip phone.

u can check out this blog.....


After doing it the password will be cisco.
