Abstract
A computerized method resets an unlocking password of an electronic device. Verification information used for resetting a first unlocking password currently used for unlocking the electronic device, and a destination for receiving a second unlocking password in place of the first unlocking password are preset in the electronic device. A request message from a terminal device is monitored in real-time, and checked for the inclusion of the verification information. The second unlocking password is generated, the first unlocking password of the electronic device is replaced by the second unlocking password, and the second unlocking password is sent to the destination if the verification information is included in the request message.
