Hi,

The PIN-code of our physical eID test card is blocked.
I have the PUK-code (it was in the letter we received along with the test card), but I don't know if it's possible to unblock the PIN-code?
I know the old test environment is not available anymore, so I checked out the post about the "new" test environment:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/eid-middleware-dev/gdigifwBJhc/oR65QnXeDwAJ

I couldn't find any information there about unblocking the PIN-code.
Is it possible and if so, how?

Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Stephanie

Hello,

I believe the PUK of all testcards was the same (3's)
there is a java program Package\2_PCSCControl\pcsccontrol.jar .

When you run this application, go to menu 'Card' and select 'unblock' for the card reader that card is in.
This should reset the PIN of your testcard.

Don't use this on real cards, as they have a different PUK ;)

Wkr,
 Frederik

Hi Stephanie,


Check out the page at:

Here you'll find a test named "Unblock PIN".



Kind Regards,
Frank.
