A method carried out in connection with an automated banking machine that operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records, comprising:
- a) through operation of at least one computer in the automated banking machine, generating an account password responsive to randomly generated data, wherein the automated banking machine includes a card reader and a cash dispenser in operative connection with the at least one computer, wherein the automated banking machine reads card data corresponding to financial accounts from user cards with the card reader, wherein the automated banking machine includes an operating system operating in the at least one computer, wherein the operating system includes an operating system login account with sufficient permission to execute at least one software component operative to at least one of configure and service the automated banking machine;
- b) through operation of the at least one computer, setting a password for the operating system login account of the at least one computer to the account password generated in (a);
- c) through operation of the at least one computer, authenticating a user using a portable storage device placed in operative connection with the automated banking machine;
- d) responsive to authentication of the user in (c), enabling the user through operation of the at least one computer to operate the at least one software component to at least one of configure and service the automated banking machine while logged into the operating system login account with the account password set in (b).
At least one article of computer readable media bearing computer executable instructions operative to cause at least one computer in an automated banking machine that operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records, to cause the automated banking machine to carry out a method comprising:
- a) through operation of the at least one computer in the automated banking machine, generating an account password responsive to randomly generated data, wherein the automated banking machine includes a card reader and a cash dispenser in operative connection with the at least one computer, wherein the automated banking machine reads card data corresponding to financial accounts from user cards with the card reader, wherein the automated banking machine includes an operating system operating in the at least one computer, wherein the operating system includes an operating system login account with sufficient permission to execute at least one software component operative to at least one of configure and service the automated banking machine;
- b) through operation of the at least one computer, setting a password for the operating system login account of the at least one computer to the account password generated in (a);
- c) through operation of the at least one computer, authenticating a user using a portable storage device placed in operative connection with the automated banking machine;
- d) responsive to authentication of the user in (c), enabling the user through operation of the at least one computer to operate the at least one software component to at least one of configure and service the automated banking machine while logged into the operating system login account with the account password set in (b).
