A password management system and method for securing networked client terminals and mobile devices is provided. More specifically, the present invention provides a system and method for encrypting randomly generated administrator-level passwords and providing a means for decrypting the randomly generated passwords for single-use unrestricted access to a designated terminal or mobile device. When unrestricted access to the terminal or mobile device is required, the encrypted administrator-level password is decrypted using a shared symmetric key, which is generated during encryption of the administrator password, to reveal the administrator-level password for the terminal or mobile device. The administrator-level password is a single-use password, wherein upon use of the administrator-level password a new administrator-level password may be automatically generated for the corresponding terminal or mobile device.
1. A system comprising: a user computer configured to:generate a random string of characters representative of a first administrator-level password, wherein said first administrator-level password is unique to said user computer,encrypt said first administrator-level password using a symmetric key,
1. A system comprising: a user computer configured to:generate a random string of characters representative of a first administrator-level password, wherein said first administrator-level password is unique to said user computer,encrypt said first administrator-level password using a symmetric key, wherein said encrypted first administrator-level password generates a first breakglass string,store said first breakglass string in association with said user computer for which said encrypted first administrator-level password was created, andupon decryption of said first breakglass string, generate a second administrator-level password for encryption into a second breakglass string. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein said user computer is one of a hardware workstation terminal or a mobile device. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the user computer is further configured to: generate a public key and a private key associated with said user computer,retrieve a server public key associated with said user computer, andgenerate said symmetric key using said private key and said retrieved server public key. 4. A system comprising: a controller computer configured to:retrieve an encrypted first administrator-level password, wherein said encrypted administrator-level password is represented by a first breakglass string unique to a user computer,decrypt said first breakglass string using a symmetric key, andreveal said first administrator-level password for obtaining unrestricted access to said user computer, wherein upon decryption of said first administrator-level password, a second administrator-level password for encryption into a second breakglass string is generated. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the controller computer is further configured to: access a network database configured to store an encrypted administrator-level password for a plurality of network user computers, andquery said network database for said encrypted first administrator-level password corresponding to said user computer to which unrestricted access is desired. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein the controller computer is further configured to: retrieve a unique system identifier for said secured network user computer,derive a public key based on said first breakglass string,retrieve a server private key associated with said user computer, andgenerate said symmetric key using said derived public key and said retrieved server private key. 7. The system of claim 4, wherein upon use of said first administrator-level password for obtaining unrestricted access to said secured user computer, said first administrator-level password is rendered obsolete for future use. 8. The system of claim 4, wherein an activity corresponding to said encrypted first administrator-level password is logged to maintain an audit trail. 9. A system comprising: a client terminal comprising a random password management agent configured to generate a random string of characters representative of a first administrator-level password, and encrypt said first administrator-level password using a shared symmetric key to generate a first breakglass string of characters;a database server configured to connect to the client terminal and store said first breakglass string of characters in association with the client terminal; anda controller computer comprising a random password recovery system application configured to retrieve said first breakglass string of characters and derive said symmetric key to decrypt said first breakglass string of characters and reveal said first administrator-level password,wherein upon decryption of said first administrator-level password, said random password management agent employed by said client terminal is configured to generate a second administrator-level password for encryption into a second breakglass string of characters and render said first administrator-level password obsolete. 10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising: generating a random string of characters representative of a first administrator-level password, wherein said first administrator-level password is unique to said user computer;encrypting said first administrator-level password using a symmetric key, wherein said encrypted first administrator-level password generates a first breakglass string;storing said first breakglass string in association with said user computer for which said encrypted first administrator-level password was created; andupon decryption of said first breakglass string, generating a second administrator-level password for encryption into a second breakglass string of characters. 11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein said user computer is one of a hardware workstation terminal or a mobile device. 12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein encrypting said first administrator-level password using said symmetric key further comprises: identifying said user computer for which said first administrator-level password was created;generating a public key and a private key associated with said user computer;retrieving a server public key associated with said user computer; andgenerating said symmetric key using said private key and said retrieved server public key. 13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising: retrieving an encrypted first administrator-level password, wherein said encrypted administrator-level password is represented by a first breakglass string unique to a user computer;decrypting said first breakglass string using a symmetric key; andrevealing said first administrator-level password for obtaining unrestricted access to said user computer, wherein upon decryption of said first administrator-level password, a second administrator-level password for encryption into a second breakglass string is generated. 14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein retrieving said encrypted administrator-level password further comprises: accessing a network database configured to store an encrypted administrator-level password for a plurality of user computers; andquerying said network database for said encrypted first administrator-level password corresponding to said user computer to which unrestricted access is desired. 15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein decrypting said first breakglass string using said symmetric key further comprises the steps of: retrieving a unique system identifier for said user computer;deriving a public key, wherein said public key is derived from said first breakglass string;retrieving a server private key associated with said user computer; andgenerating said symmetric key using said derived public key and said retrieved server private key. 16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein upon use of said first administrator-level password for obtaining unrestricted access to said user computer, said first administrator-level password is rendered obsolete for future use. 17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein activities corresponding to said encrypted first administrator-level password are logged to maintain an audit trail.
