Password reset system

A method of resetting passwords comprising:

• storing computer executable instructions on a memory, which, when executed by a microprocessor, perform:
• prompting a user to compose at least one password candidate that satisfies an aggregate password specification thereby creating a new password to reset a network password for a plurality of network entities;
• calculating the strength of the at least one password candidate dynamically as the user inputs the at least one password candidate;
• acquiring at least two password specifications from a plurality of network entities via a password reset agent;
• communicating at least two password specifications from a plurality of network entities in a network system to the password reset agent, wherein the password reset agent communicates with a password reset table, wherein the password reset table includes characteristics for each of the at least two password specifications;
• determining a most stringent entry for each respective characteristic to determine an aggregate password specification;
• and
• generating an optimal aggregate password specification that satisfies the at least two password specifications from the plurality of network entities.

An apparatus for guiding a user to simultaneously reset a plurality of passwords comprising:

• a microprocessor executing a plurality of instructions for:
• accessing at least one password specification from a plurality of network entities in a network system;
• determining a stringent entry for characteristics of the at least one password specification to determine an optimal aggregate password specification;
• creating the aggregate password specification that satisfies the at least one password specification in the plurality of network entities;
• rating the aggregate password specification with a touch score that serves as a guidance to a user to strengthen a new password;
• prompting the user to input at least one password candidate that satisfies the aggregate password specification;
• calculating the strength of the at least one password candidate dynamically as the user inputs the at least one password candidate;
• and
• resetting at least one password for the plurality of network entities.
