Password Enabled; Change Required
New PIN mode
Resolution
1. $ ./sdshell
2. Enter PASSCODE: (this is where you enter your initial password requiring change)
3. Enter your new PIN, containing 4 to 8 characters
or
<Ctrl D> to cancel the New PIN procedure
4. Enter your new password. This can be the same as the old password. You see the message:
Please re-enter new PIN:
5. Re-enter the new password
6. Wait for the code on your token to change, then log in with the new PIN. You see the message:
Enter PASSCODE:
7. Enter the new Password again (you do not have to wait before re-entering it). You see the message:
PASSCODE Accepted
$
NOTE: The message "Enter your new PIN" can sometimes be confusing. Users may think they are setting a PIN, when they are only using the PIN to log in.
