The present invention provides apparatus and method for recovering a forgotten password while maintaining the security and integrity of protected software system. In particular, the present invention provides for a centralized contact, as the "central administrator" or "central administration". The present invention further provides for the identification of the particular user (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60) to the particular local system, the identification of the particular local system to the central administrator, and the identification of the particular user to the central administrator. After providing all of the above-described proper identifications, the present invention provides for the identification of the forgotten password to the central administrator who then provides the forgotten password to the user. Also alternatively, the invention provides for the identification by the central administrator of a key that will unlock the software system (300) for the user so that the user can access the identification of the user's password.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant de récupérer un mot de passe oublié alors que la sécurité et l'intégrité du système logiciel protégé sont maintenues. De manière plus spécifique, l'invention concerne un contact centralisé tel que "l'administrateur central" ou "l'administration centrale". L'invention permet également d'identifier l'utilisateur particulier (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 et 60) par rapport au système local particulier, d'identifier le système local particulier par rapport à l'administrateur central, et d'identifier l'utilisateur particulier par rapport à l'administrateur central. Après avoir permis d'assurer toutes les identifications présentées ci-avant, l'invention assure l'identification du mot de passe oublié, par l'administrateur central qui envoie ensuite le mot de passe oublié à l'utilisateur. Dans une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, l'administrateur central identifie une clé qui débloque le système logiciel (300) pour l'utilisateur de sorte que ce dernier puisse accéder à l'identification du mot de passe de l'utilisateur.
