The configuration of the Password Change Service will allow an administrator to activate this feature in CallPilot. This can be a huge time saver and eliminate the need for someone to manually reset mailboxes which can be a truly tedious daily task. You can select the method in which you will allow the users to make the password change and by utilizing SSL technology, the setup is a secure process.
End User Implementation
The remainder of the set-up must be performed by the end user. It will be up to the mailbox owner to access Password Change Service to set up their questions and answers and/or their email address prior to actually needing to use the service.
