This sounds like a bit of an issue I had with my Omnikey 38xx. I had a 
similar issue, where it always claimed the pin was wrong. I installed 
the omnikey drivers.... and then restarted PCSD. But I was using the 
pinpad on the device itself. Maybe your issue is different, depending on 
your hardware.
