[Freeswitch-users] (OT) SPA-922 unlock

I was never able to unlock these phones using some sort of  
sniffing/back door stuff. I was, however, lucky enough to have the  
previous owner discover the password. If it helps anybody, the  
now-defunct Webnet Global Communications (where the phones came from  
at a bankruptcy auction) used the username Admin and password 'webnet'.

Thanks to all who provided information on this endeavor.
