# Set or Clear Mailbox Passcode or Tutorial

The tutorial provides users with basic instructions about setting up a new mailbox. It is automatically enabled when a mailbox is created. There are times when users may not want to hear the tutorial (for example, when setting up a series of chain mailboxes for directory assistance).

This procedure describes how to set or clear a passcode for a mailbox, and how to turn on or off the tutorial. You must also have configured the desired passcode parameters ( Configure Mailbox Passcode Parameters by Line Group ).

1. From the Main Menu, select (M) Mailbox Menu.

2. Select (P) Set Passcode/Tutorial.

3. When prompted, enter the mailbox number for which to set the passcode.

4. When prompted for New passcode, do one of the following:

   - Enter a passcode with four to 10 digits (0 to 9) OR

   - Press Enter to leave passcode unchanged, OR

   - Enter 0 (zero) if you want to clear an existing passcode, OR

   - Enter S to make passcode the same as the mailbox number, OR

   - Enter R for a random generated number.

5. At the Tutorial? prompt, do one of the following:

   - Enter Y to enable the tutorial. The first time that the system is accessed, it directs the new user to record a name and a greeting for callers and to enter a passcode. The system confirms passcode and tutorial settings.

   - Enter N to clear the tutorial if the user has already set up the mailbox. The system confirms passcode setting and that the tutorial is cleared.

6. The system prompts you to set the next mailbox passcode. Press Enter to return to the Mailbox Maintenance menu.
