Admin mode and user mode
Snom phones can be operated in administrator or user mode. In administrator mode, all settings are
accessible and can be modified; in user mode, a number of settings are not accessible. The factory
default is administrator mode; however, if your phone is administered centrally, user mode may be
the rule. Please check with your administrator.
When the phone is running in user mode, the administrator password is required to revert to
administrator mode. The default administrator password is 0000 (4 x zero). We recommend that you
change the password.
Note: Do not forget to write the new password down and store it in a safe place; without it, a TFTP
reset to factory values is necessary to return the phone to administrator mode.
