How to reset Polycom SPIP 550

[ebalders]

I need to reset a IP 550 with a bad config that casues it to reboot. I have tried doing a factory reset, but when it boots, it cannot find a boot server and it reverts to the current config. I need to replace the bad config with a config that will let me manually configure the SIP settings. Any help on how to replace the config?

1- when the phone boot up , press 4,6,8 and * all together untill it ask for password ... put 456 , then this will reset the configuration settings ..it mean it will remove any ips or settings that you put before.

Hi I tried the admin 456 and it still doesn't accept. What can I do to reset to factory setting?

Hello Keith0332,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

We do not disclose within this official Polycom community how to reset the Phones if the Admin Password is lost.

Many of our partners utilize these phones and offer services so we cannot publicly disclose the procedure to do so.

If your phone is still able to connect to the Provisioning server please reset the password via the Device Parameters documented in the Admin Guide or here

The above is also stated in the Read First: Welcome to the Polycom VoIP Forum

If this is not possible please contact your Polycom reseller or the person you purchased the phone from.

We will remove any post replying to this that will publicly explain how to remove the password.

Best Regards
