Sometime soon I am looking at using the "Basic Stamp" that's sold at Radio
Shack to reset locked machines remotely.  It seems to have all the basic
I/O needed on board, so it could work off a port on an annex or
portmaster.  A handful of relays and some basic programming, and it should
go (I hope).  I'm not much of an EE, but I think I can hack it together.
The hardest part should be triggering a relay off the board.  If it works,
I'll post details.
