- Double-click the Personal icon in the taskbar to open the Nexus Personal Desktop Client application window.
- Select File > PIN Management or click PIN to start the PIN Management wizard.
- Follow the instructions in the wizard.
- Select the smart card whose PIN you want to unblock.
- Click PIN and select Unblock PIN. The Unblock PIN dialog box appears.
If the token (smart card) currently selected has more than one PIN, select the PIN identifier before you change the PIN. When only one PIN exists, the PIN identifier is not selectable. Enter the PUK code (that is, the personal unblocking key code). Enter the PIN code twice to confirm it. - Click OK.
