now that avaya tech support is impossible today lol

is there any way to turn off in vm pro the setting that does not allow users to create easy passwords such as 1234

this was in the call pilot for nortel but cant find if its an option in vm pro
 
No, but just have them do 2580, that is allowed and is straight down the middle
of the keypad, just as easy :)

 
There is no such setting. PBX hackers use simple passwords to get in and use out calling. We have a customer that all their users had 1234 as passwords. Over a weekend they racked up $384,xxx in fraud. Hackers managed to originate calls and then offload them to other numbers. They were dialing international '900' numbers that were $20/min. This is getting more and more prevalent on the older Nortel systems. That is why IP Office doesn't allow it.

8.1 introduced a minimum password length but that is about it.
