How to Reset a Password on the Cisco 7920 VoIP

If you experience issues with your Cisco 7920 wireless IP phone you will not be able to make important calls to business or personal associates. If you cannot reset the phone password to the default, you may require a factory reset of the 7920 in order to use the system password to access certain components. Also, if you plan on selling the device or giving it to someone else, resetting the device to factory defaults will remove any and all information that was personally stored in the device so the new recipient can change the password themselves.

    • 1

      Navigate to "Start," "All Programs," and "Cisco" to open the phone profile window (using a Windows operating system).
