Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0058808A1] In password protection access, a nominated telephone number is used as the user identity associated with the protected information. If the user needs to change his password, he makes a call from the nominated telephone to a change password service, which automatically retrieves the calling line identity from the signalling information of the incoming call, prompts for a new password, receives the new password from the user, and records the new password in place of the previous password. There is no involvement of system administration personnel, and no consequent delay while a manual reset of the user's password is effected.
