Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for providing secure password reset functionality for a password protected device. Receiving, in a password reset computer server, is a request code for enabling password reset functionality for the password protected device. The request code is parsed to identify the password protected device for generating a recovery string including at least metadata and a unique identifier associated with the password protected device. A first hash value representation of the recovery string is generated for the password protected device. The first hash value is then compared to a second hash value, which second hash value is generated by another computer device and is representative of a second recovery string that includes at least the metadata and the unique identifier associated with the password protected device. Password reset functionality for the password protected device is enabled when the first and second hash values match.
