asterisk users - Mar 2008 - OT How to Change Polycom Web Admin User:Pass via Web

I setup a number of remote phones on public IPs using the web
interface.  Now my question is how do I change the default Polycom:456
password via the web interface.  Is there a hidden way or does it have
to be done via FTP TFTP?

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

Hi Steve -

I could be mistaken, but I think this has to be done physically from
the phone.  I don't think you can do this with central provisioning or
from the web interface.

As far as I recall it can be done from the config file only. Here is the
relevant line from sip.cfg:

 <device  device.set="1"
device.auth.localAdminPassword.set="1" device.auth.loc
alAdminPassword="YOUR-PASSWORD-HERE" />

                                          regards, __Yehavi:

What sip release are you referring to?
I am looking at sip 1.6.x and sip.cfg only allows you to set the length
of the user and admin passwords.  You cannot set the password in cfg.

I am using version 2.2.0.
