Reseting 7900 series IP phones

[bmwfw22]

Hello,

I habe several 7900 series IP phones that have been password protected by our vendor. Is there a way to reset the phone to factory defaults. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Does anyone have an idea on how to do this?

Guys if a 7970 "dies" in Manchester, i.e. it stays on a white cisco screen please follow the instructions below to default them back to factory settings



Procedure:
1) Power off 7970
2) Power on 7970 while holding the # key
3) The lines lamp should blink amber in sequence, let go of the # key
4) Press 123456789*0#
5) The lamps should blink green in sequence
6) The phone will obtain IP information via DHCP
7) The TERM70.default load will be loaded on the phone
8) The phone should recover the configuration file from CallManager, ifnot reset with **#** and your confriguration will be restored


Try this

Hi jonks,
Thank you for your reply, but my question is can I use this "trick" in my Cisco 7935 conference station?

Thanks in advance,

That does not work on the 7940. Are there any other suggestions?

I guess the vendor never did change the password. It was "cisco" too easy
