card is permanently locked!

[Werner Koch]

Hi, 

while testing the forthcoming 2.1 cards (only minor changes) I found out
that the old instructions on how to reset the card didn't worked always.

The corrected script is

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   scd reset
   scd serialno undefined
   scd apdu 00 A4 04 00 06 D2 76 00 01 24 01
   scd apdu 00 20 00 81 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
   scd apdu 00 20 00 81 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
   scd apdu 00 20 00 81 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
   scd apdu 00 20 00 81 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
   scd apdu 00 20 00 83 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
   scd apdu 00 20 00 83 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
   scd apdu 00 20 00 83 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
   scd apdu 00 20 00 83 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
   scd apdu 00 e6 00 00
   scd reset
   scd serialno undefined
   scd apdu 00 A4 04 00 06 D2 76 00 01 24 01
   scd apdu 00 44 00 00
   /echo Card has been reset to factory defaults
   /bye
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Put this into a file, say, "resetcard.scd" and run

  gpg-connect-agent --hex --run resetcard.scd

This should reset all cards unless you are using the secure-messaging
feature, which is not used by GnuPG.

GnuPG 2.1.1 will have a "factory-reset" command for the --edit-card
menu.
