Ahh, you were talking about the individual mailbox passwords set up by the the employees. As Tommy said, there is no default here either. If they choose 123456 that's on them and there is no way to tell other than trying to log into their mailbox with 123456. The administrator doesn't have access to (can't see) the individual user passwords so he can't "check" them. All the administrator can do is reset a mailbox password to default. Then if he want's to snoop on the messages he is going to have to set a new password same as the user. So the user will know if the admin has been in his mailbox when his password no longer works.

This is a separate situation. (*)(7) from outside gets you to the same place (I)(777) does on a system phone- the voice mail greeting. It allows outside users to retrieve their VM messages remotely. You can also get to the messaging system administration if you know how and the admin password- same as in the office.

It seems in Version 7.0.X four digit passwords for mailboxes is not allowed. They must be at least six digits. So I don't know where this other person had it in his head that the mailbox passcode be only four digits.

With Panasonic TVS/TVA, from the outside world it's #6 then *(extension/mailbox number). From there you then enter your pass code to retrieve messages.
