Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing challenge protected user queries on a local system is presented. A query is presented to a user. A response to the query is received and a determination is made whether the response is administratively less desirable than a threshold. When the response is administratively less desirable than said threshold, then a challenge is provided to the user. The response is accepted when the user responds correctly to the challenge and the response is not accepted when the user fails to correctly respond to the challenge.
