Hey guys, I'm trying to change the name of an extension at Morris County Dental Associates. They are using yealink phones. I already found the IP address of the phone, but I'm not able to log in because it's saying that the password is wrong (I'm using the default one, because there's no info at bitrix). Any other suggestions?

Or maybe the internet provider manage that, not really sure.

Not 100% sure but I think they use Weave, they can login on their end and do this quick, might be a weave call? or I think there is some kind of weave admin panel that you could access, but might be easier just to call weave

Okay, thanks!

# Change Yealink Phone Extension Name When Default Password Fails

## Problem
When attempting to change an extension name on Yealink phones at a client office, the default password fails to authenticate to the phone's web interface. The phone's IP address is accessible, but login attempts using standard default credentials are rejected with incorrect password errors. No password information is documented in the client management system.

## Resolution
1. Contact Weave support directly to request the extension name change
2. Alternatively, check if there is a Weave admin panel available that provides access to phone configuration settings
3. Do not attempt to reset or bypass phone authentication, as the phones may be managed by Weave's system rather than having local administrative access

The phones are likely managed through Weave's centralized system, making direct phone configuration changes unavailable through the local web interface.
