Abstract
Embodiments of systems and method as presented herein allow a user's locally stored authentication credentials to be reset without needing either to contact the domain controller over a network or authenticating a user at the device. Credentials being reset by the user are obtained at the device and encrypted in the same manner as the original locally stored domain credentials such that the new credentials can be used to overwrite the previously stored authentication credentials for the user at the device without contacting the domain controller over the network. The user can then access his device without contacting the domain controller using these new locally stored authentication credentials. Additionally, the user's credentials may be independently reset with respect to the domain controller. Thus, once the user is locally authenticated to the device using the new credentials, the user may be permitted access to the domain with the new credentials through the domain controller as the new credentials have been also been reset at the domain controller.
