    On my smartphone, if I only tap the number 1, I get a similar message. However, when I hold down the number 1, it automatically dials my voicemail. It might take a second, so hold it long enough. This should take you to your voicemail.

    Go to your phone app and click on the keypad. In the top right corner of the keypad screen, click on the three dots to access your settings. Scroll down until you see an option for voicemail. Then you should see an option to change your voicemail password. If you don't find it, you may need to contact your carrier for assistance. If you have Verizon, for instance, you might be able to change your password through the Verizon voicemail app.
