Abstract
A method is presented for rebooting a local data processing entity requiring an access code to boot. The method may include receiving, on a local entity, an access code from a remote entity. The access code may be stored on an auxiliary device coupled to the local entity. The local entity may receive a reboot command from the remote entity and begin rebooting in response thereto. The auxiliary device may provide the access code to the local entity in response to the beginning of the reboot. The access code may then be deleted from the auxiliary device.
