You seem to misunderstand even after I have explained.  I don't need a
password when calling my mailbox from my own registered phone (not calling
from any other phone). I don't need to call my mailbox from other phones on
the planet, so I don't need a password.  Consider the voicemail you get
from your mobile network on your mobile phone. You don't access it from any
phone in the world; you only access it from the mobile phone which has your
SIM, and you probably don't enter a password for it.

The password is only asked if a password has been set. A password is also
asked if any number is entered after the 'mailbox' prompt.

I should add, a password is *always* asked if a password has been set.
There isn't a way to bypass that.

And the extension I suggested in answer to your original question will
do that for you.  Are you saying that pressing "*98" from your phone
requests a password?

You need a password to protect your mailbox from people entering '*'
during your message.  The extension I gave you bypasses the password
when you call from your own phone.

Yes but if someone accesses it from another phone it damn well better
ask for a password before serving up my messages.

From outside phones.  What happens when you dial "*98" from your own
phone.

Excuse my formatting here, this is my first contribution to the list. I 
believe I understand what you are trying to accomplish. In my dial plans I 
have extension 87 setup to go to a peers voicemail box directly without 
need for a password. The App/Appdata I call is as shown below. Hope this 
helps!
