Abstract

See full text

A system, method, and computer program product utilizing a default user ID, such as 'help,' that has no assigned password. When the user logs into the computer using this ID, their login is 'captured' and a crippled windows manager is started along with a web browser pointed to a specific URL. The user has no ability to manipulate the operating system, the local file system, or even the web browser. All the user is able to do is interact with the automated reset page(s) on the network authentication server. Once the user has completed her password reset and closed the browser, the user's web session is logged out and the user can now log in with her new password and her original userid.
