Abstract

The invention relates to a password protected secure device associated to a password. The secure device is in a state chosen from a group of states comprising an unlocked state, a first locked state and a second locked state. The state changes from said first locked state to said unlocked state if a user input which matches said password is received, and the state changes from said first locked state to said second locked state if a predetermined number of user inputs which do not match said password are received. The password protected secure device comprises a receiver for receiving biometric sample data, a memory comprising biometric template data, and a processor configured to compare said biometric sample data with said biometric template data. A match between the biometric sample data and the biometric template data causes said secure device to provide information for changing the password protected device from a first state to a second state, wherein one of the first state and the second state is the second locked state.
