Small detail: this feature is not working in the current stable versions. GnuPG
2.1 will support this.

I use the following script to make the card forget its PIN:

----------8<------------------------------------>8----------
#!/bin/sh

gpg-connect-agent 'SCD RESET' /bye
----------8<------------------------------------>8----------

I created this based on a message of Werner Koch to this list. Earlier, I killed
the scdaemon.

HTH,

Peter.
