asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Semi-Ot - Cisco IP Phone Password Reset Procedure

Has anyone come up with a way to reset the password on a Cisco IP Phone 
when the normal password reset procedure does not work?  I have some 
phones that are running MGCP, and the password for the phone was 
assigned in the original config file TFTP'd to the phone. 

There is a documented password reset procedure which involves cycling 
the power on the phone, holding the # key while the Headset, Mute and 
Speaker buttons initialize, then releasing # and entering 123456789*0# 
within 60 seconds.

I was wondering if there was a way to terminal into the phones or 
accessing/modifying the config file stored on the phone.

Can you TFTP a new configuration to the phone?

If it's using DHCP and doesn't have a TFTP server explicitly defined
(and you have a DHCP server that supports it), you can send the phone
a TFTP server address using DHCP options 66 and 150.

The easiest way to reset a Cisco phone is via tftp
hands down
Download the image from Cisco (I can get it for you if you like.
And re provision it via TFTP
