Knowing Your Passwords
It is important to know your passwords. You should have two: one to access your
Voicemail and one to login to the Clearspan Web Portal.
Changing Your Default Voicemail Password
In order to set up your Voice Mail and other basic functions the first time for your ISU
telephone, you will need the default password:

Note: It is important to immediately change the password for your Voice Mail from the default settings. If
you need further help or assistance, contact the Solution Center at www.it.iastate.edu/solution/.
Changing Your Default Web Portal Password
The Clearspan Web Portal allows you to access and set up advanced features for your
telephone. In order to set up your web portal, you need:
Clearspan Web Portal (http://phone.iastate.edu)
•UserID: [e-mail]
•Default Password: !Cyclone5
Note: It is important to immediately change the password for your Clearspan Web Portal from the default
settings. Your password must contain 6 to 60 characters and include:
