Howto wipe an Aladdin eToken you forgot the PIN for
20th June 2008
Mostly since I always forgot how to do this (this solution requires MS Windows):
- get the eToken runtime environment. I used RTE_3_60.msi, currently there's 3.65 available from Aladdin's FTP site which should work the same way - let me know if it doesn't.
- install it with
msiexec RTE_3_60.msi ETPROPS_MODE=31 - start the eToken Properties application and select Initialize
- after hitting Start the token gets wiped
Once done pkcs15-init from opensc works as expected.
