Abstract
A locking key secondary access system includes a key management system coupled to a secondary locking key access device and a server device via a network. The server device includes a managed device. The server device receives a request to unlock the managed device, and determines that a first access path via a first communication subsystem and through the network to the key management system is unavailable. In response, the server device provides locking key request information via a second communication subsystem to the secondary locking key access device. The secondary locking key access device may use the locking key information to retrieve a locking key for the managed device from the key management system. The secondary locking key access device sends the locking key to the server device via the second communication subsystem, and the server device uses the locking key to unlock the managed device.
