A METHOD FOR REMOTELY OVERRIDING OF PROGRAM OR FILE ACCESS PASSWORDS FROM A TELEPHONE ABSTRACT A method of overriding a file or program access password from a remote location via a telephone inter- face. The password is used by a computer program to either lock the program or one of its data files. Also, the computer program contains a master override code to which the received override code must match. A regular DTMF telephone and telephone line are used. The first step requires that a connection be established between the computer and the telephone. This can be accomplished by either having the computer user call the remote tele- phone, or the remote telephone call the computer user. After the connection is established, the computer user is asked to place the computer in the proper mode. Gener- ally, this requires that the computer user place the com- puter program in the mode where it is expecting the com- puter user to enter the password. Next, DTMF tones rep- resenting the override code are transmitted from the telephone to the computer. After receiving the tones, the computer converts the received tones to the override code and compares it to the master override code. Finally, the password is modified if the override code matches the master override code.
