A computer device, comprising: memory configured to store data and instructions; at least one processor configured to communicate with the memory; and an operating system configured to communicate with the memory and the at least one processor, wherein the operating system is operable to: receive a lost device message including a device identifier identifying the computer device and an authorized user list including at least one user identification that identifies a user authorized to access the computer device in a lost state; log out existing users on the computer device and invalidate the existing users' credentials on the computer device based at least on receiving the lost device message; activate a lock screen on the computer device and set the computer device to the lost state; initiate a log on manager that is configured to recognize the lost state and to restrict access to the computer device to users included in the authorized user list; receive, at the log on manager, at least one log on attempt from a user utilizing a user identification and a password; perform, at the computer device, a first comparison of the received user identification with the at least one user identification included in the authorized user list to generate a first authentication of the received user identification when a match occurs between the received user identification and the at least one user identification included in the authorized user list; transmit the received user identification and the password when the first authentication occurs to perform a second comparison of the received user identification and the password with stored credentials on a network based server for a second authentication of the received user identification and the password; and grant access to the computer device based at least on the first authentication and the second authentication. memory configured to store data and instructions; at least one processor configured to communicate with the memory;
