I have just installed armory wallet in my two computers (one online and one offline) and they both
work very well. Now I just want to know how can I claim my bit coins in the armory wallet if my two computer are stolen and I have a strong passwords for it. I did make a paper backup for my offline wallet. I can not find any information about this on the Armory website. Anyone could help, thanks.

Glad to hear it's working well!

If your computers are stolen, you only need to install Armory on a new computer, restore your wallet from your paper backup, and immediate sweep the coins out of it to a wallet that only you control (perhaps create a new wallet at that time, create a backup, and then send the maximum amount from the old wallet to the new one).

The wallet encryption that Armory uses could take a computer millions of years to break.  Even if your password is really weak, it should still hold off the attacker for 72 hours, giving you time to sweep your coins before they get access.
