you have forgotten the recovery file password), you need to prepare a
new smart card with a new PIN and (if applicable) all the necessary
account information.
If a randomly generated password was used (refer to page 55 for
information), then you, as the administrator, will have to change the
password before preparing the new smart card. You will need to enter
this password when you add the account information to the new smart
card.
For instructions, refer to
Preparing a Smart Card for Use: Overview
on page 36.
CAUTION
If the user enters the PIN incorrectly five times, the smart card will be
automatically locked. Once locked, the smart card is unusable and
should be discarded in an environmentally friendly way.
