Sometimes on initial boot, it wouldn't take the 68* combination.
EDIT wait until the polycom logo dissapears before pressing 68*
The password prompt on the IP6000 is exactly the same whether you go to 'setup' or whether 68* works, BUT, the mac address will only work at the prompt generated by 68* , not at the setup prompt. If 68* doesn't switch to the password prompt before the countdown is over, try it again. Then enter the mac address (Capitals for Letters), making sure to wait for the cursor before moving on to the next character. If it's an F for example, there will be no feedback that you've switched from d, to e, to f, just know that you have to hit it 3 times.
For the IP6000, most of this was right.
