What if the person is offline or travelling ? this is one of the limitations.
also the passphrases will be fixed.. which is not the best practice.
any suggestions?

Hi Karan,
there is no passphrase reset function. However you can
set multiple passphrases with LUKS and can, e.g.,
put a recovery passphrase in a specific slot. You
can then make a header backup and store it in a database,
in order to be able to reinstall that recovery passphrase.
With ssh as root to the laptops, you can do
this remotely and, as allways on Linux/Unix,
scripted. There really is not need for a special
"tool".
