IMPORTANT
To provide system security, all mailboxes and extension IDs should
have a password. To make the passwords difficult to guess, they
should not match the mailbox number or consist of one digit
repeated several times. This is especially important for the voice
mail administrator's mailbox, which allows programming access to
other mailboxes.
