capital letter, small letter, number, and special character.

For more information, see Bypass the Set Password Screen, on page 108.
Default: Empty
User Password
This parameter works only with the user access the (ua) attribute attached to an element
tag in the configuration file (cfg.xml). You can restrict the parameters that the phone
users see on the phone screen.
When set to Yes, you can use the ua attribute to control user access to specific
parameters on the phone screen menu. When set to No, the ua attribute isn’t working.
The options for the ua attribute are “na”, “ro”, and “rw”. Parameters designated as
“na” don't appear on the phone screen. Parameters designated as “ro” aren't editable
by the user. Parameters designated as “rw” are editable by the user.
Perform one of the following:
• In the phone configuration file with XML(cfg.xml), enter a string in this format:
<Phone-UI-User-Mode ua="na">No</Phone-UI-User-Mode>
• In the phone web interface, set to Yes and then set the ua attribute of the desired
parameter in the phone configuration file.
Example:
<Phone-UI-User-Mode ua="na">Yes</Phone-UI-User-Mode>
<Enable_VLAN ua="ro">Yes</Enable_VLAN>
<Preferred_Audio_Device ua="rw">Headset</Preferred_Audio_Device>
<Block_ANC_Setting ua="na">Yes</Block_ANC_Setting>
With the settings in the example, the user:
• Can see but can't change the setting of VLAN (Enable_VLAN) on the phone screen
menu
• Can change the setting of Preferred audio device (Preferred_Audio_Device)
• Can't see the menu item Block anonymous call (Block_ANC_Setting) on the
phone screen.
