Disclosed are systems and methods of transferring computer hardware from one set of users to another set of users. An exemplary receives units of circuitry from a plurality of business entities, and determines if access to a unit is blocked by lack of a primary password. If access is blocked, the method determines whether a value of the unit exceeds a threshold. If the value exceeds a threshold, the method attaches a connector to the unit, uses the processor to send a first set of signals into a hardware port of the unit via the connector, and receives a visual signal from the unit.
