Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a method and system for password recovery using Fuzzy logic. The system includes a receiving module, a validation module, an authentication module, a display module, a memory module, and a network interface. The system uses a phonetic algorithm such as Soundex algorithm for enabling the password recovery process. The user credentials received through the receiving module is validated with the validation module at the time of accessing the application. The authentication module is configured to authenticate the user using a fuzzy logic derived from a phonetic algorithm, by matching the answers of the user with the stored answers to compute a score which is compared with a threshold score. The user is enabled to unlock the user device when the computed validation score is greater than the threshold score.
