So it's really a non issue.

I do not believe this to be the Backdoor password I found.

According to @1:42:

Avaya Partner - How to set up Partner Messaging Module from a PC

Using the sysadmin login

The password is "whatever you are using to log in over the phone". Then he explains "If you haven't logged in for the first time yet, just press press enter here".

There was a post on the Tek-Tips board where it is claimed the default password for sysadmin is 123456. In my case this worked.

Partner Messaging Administator Password Reset

Now I am a little confused, is the sysadmin password initially "unset" or is it simply 123456....

There is also an option to change this password which I confirmed, If this is the case, then I don't think this is the "backdoor" access.

There was mention of a voice mail password only being four digits. Under version 7.0 passwords must be 6 to 15 digits.

I suppose this may be a very early release of the Messaging software, or there is indeed a vast amount of misinformation out there.
