How to Change the PIN on Your Smart Card (Command Line)


Caution - Caution -

Be sure to type the new PIN correctly because you will not be prompted to confirm it.


  1. Insert your smart card in the card reader.

  2. Change your PIN.


    % smartcard -c init -A A000000062030400 -P  `old_PIN' pin=new_PIN
    

    old_PIN

    Is your current PIN. 

    new_PIN

    Is your new PIN. 

    Enclose the default PIN, $$$$java, or any PIN containing shell special-characters (such as $) within single quotes. Otherwise, the shell tries to interpret the PIN as a variable, and the command fails.
