Abstract: A security system for controlling access to property having a user-operated keyboard to key in and reset a composite password code. An indicator visually displays at least one code symbol varying with time. A memory device stores a current composite password code including at least two code symbols so that upon entry of the keyed-in password code through the keyboard, one of the stored password code symbols is replaced directly by the time varying code symbol to form a regenerated, composite password code which is then compared with the keyed-in password code to grant access to the property when coincidence occurs between the keyed-in and the regenerated password codes. In response to non-coincidence, an alerting signal is generated to indicate the incorrect password condition.

Abstract: A computer-controlled password lock system having a user operated keyboard to key in and reset a password. An indicator visually displays at least one code symbol varying with time. A memory device stores a current password including at least two code symbols so that upon entry of a keyed-in password code through the keyboard, one of the stored password code symbols of the current password is replaced by the time varying code symbol and password then compared with the keyed-in password code to generate a lock opening signal when coincidence occurs. In response to non-coincidence, an alerting signal is generated to indicate the incorrect password condition.
