Abstract
A method for operating an electronic self-service device is provided. The method may include using an electronic receiver module to receive electronic data from the self-service device. The electronic data may include information regarding a limited access personal identification number ('PIN'). The method may further include using an electronic computational module to test the PIN using a plurality of algorithms. The testing preferably determines whether the PIN corresponds to one of a plurality of stored PIN offset values. The method may also include identifying an algorithm that obtains a correspondence between the PIN and one of the plurality of stored PIN offset values. The method may further include using an electronic transmitter to transmit a signal corresponding to the algorithm used to obtain the correspondence and receiving an electronic authorization message that comprises instructions. The instructions may provide limited access authorization information.
