    The config password was changed from the default and we are unable to
    get into the system settings of the phone. Any suggestions on removing
    or resetting the password? I believe the phones are currently using
    skinny. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks so
    much!

    Jonathan - Thank you kindly for your responce, but I tried **# already
    without success. Any other ideas?

    Arnold - I've searched the cisco online documents and FAQ's for hours
    upon hours and have unfortunately not found a solution, hence the
    reason I am asking here. Thanks for the suggestions nonetheless.

    Similar issues on how to reset a 7960G

    Hi:

    I purchased a 7960G that seems to be firmware locked. I have tried the various passwords and access methods (**#, and # plus 123456789*0# at start-up) and I am not having any luck. I have tried to telnet to the set and I tried a number of passwords such as "Cisco", "cisco", "Cisco4321" as mentioned on the Cisco site for the 7960.

    The set seems to want to connect to a remote MGCP server at 64.2.21.61.

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks.

    Kevin
