Hello,
During my tests (Linux system connecting to Windows OS through RDP/PCoIP/Blast/HDX) I blocked a card.
Is there any way to unlock it?
I can't find information about the PUK (if any).

Thank you
Ettore

An email on 6/14/2013 sent to piv-test-cards might help:

> Subject: Resetting the PIV Card Application PIN on a test PIV Card
>
> A status word of '69 83' does seem to indicate that the corresponding PIN has been locked. The PIV Card Application PINs and (where applicable) Global PINs on the test PIV Cards have been configured with a reset counter of 10. After 10 consecutive incorrect attempts to authenticate to the card using one of these PINs, the ability to authenticate to the card using that PIN will be blocked.
>
> While there is no mechanism available to reset the Global PIN once it has become blocked, the PIV Card Application PIN may be reset using the RESET RETRY COUNTER card command, which is described in NIST Special Publication 800-73-3 Part 2<http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-73-3/sp800-73-3_PART2_piv-card-applic-card-common-interface.pdf>. The RESET RETRY COUNTER card command needs to be provided the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) and the new value for the PIV Card Application PIN. The value of the PUK for test PIV Cards 1, 9, and 16, is "1234." The value of the PUK for all of the other test PIV Cards is "99999999."
>
> So, the Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) (i.e., card command) to send to test PIV Card 1, 9, or 16, to reset the PIV Card Application PIN to its original value of "123456" is:
> 00:2C:00:80:10:31:32:33:34:FF:FF:FF:FF:31:32:33:34:35:36:FF:FF
> The APDU to send to test PIV Card 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15, to reset the PIV Card Application PIN to its original value of "123456" is:
> 00:2C:00:80:10:39:39:39:39:39:39:39:39:31:32:33:34:35:36:FF:FF
> The APDU to send to test PIV Card 3 or 7 to reset the PIV Card Application PIN to its original value of "90909090" is:
> 00:2C:00:80:10:39:39:39:39:39:39:39:39:39:30:39:30:39:30:39:30

> As Doug mentioned, OpenSC may be used to send the APDU to the card to reset the PIN.
