Abstract
A secure access system includes at least one lock, at least one electronic key with stored information assigned to a user and a system administration for administering user access privileges. A method for remotely updating the user's expired access privileges includes establishing communication between the user and the system administration from a location remote from the system administration, receiving a remote privilege code from the system administration, communicating the remote privilege code to the lock, and, if authorized, the lock validating the privilege code to renew the user's access privileges. The validated privilege code can also be made effective to access other different locks within the system.
