摘要

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for unlocking administration authority for a data processing system and a device for performing authentication, and pertain to the technical field of computer information security. The method includes: the authentication device receiving (101) authentication information sent by a plurality of member devices, wherein the member devices including a mobile terminal or a wearable device; performing (102) a matching authentication of the authentication information; determining (103) a distance between an authenticated member device and the authentication device, wherein the authentication information sent from the authenticated member device is matched with authentication information prestored in an authorized authentication information list; and unlocking (104) local administration authority if a number of authenticated member devices from which the distance determined to the authentication device is smaller than a predetermined distance threshold reaches a predetermined number threshold. It is possible to improve flexibility of unlocking administration authority by adopting the present disclosure.
