Hello all,
For some reason entering the pin to my smartcard card (for decrypting,
signing, authenticating) has broken...
$ gpg --card-status
Returns, among the usual blurb this: PIN retry counter : 3 0 3. I am pretty
sure that this should say 3 3 3 or 2 2 3 or 0 0 3. basically the first and
second digit (which refer to the unlocking pin) should always be the same. 3
0 3 should not happen....
Whenever I enter my pin to decrypt something i get:
$ gpg Desktop/myTest.txt.pgp
gpg: detected reader `OmniKey CardMan 3121 00 00'
PIN (Here pin-entry-gtk2 pops up and asks me for my pin, which I enter)
gpg: verify CHV2 failed: invalid passphrase
gpg: encrypted with ELG-E key, ID 00000000
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit RSA key, ID 987D9D66, created 2008-04-25
"Edward Robinson <email>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: invalid passphrase
gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available
I am 100% sure I haven't forgotten the pin!!! I am definitely putting the
correct pin in.
$ gpg --edit-card
Command> verify
PIN (pinentrygtk2 asks for the pin, I enter it and get the following:)
gpg: verify CHV2 failed: invalid passphrase
So then I try this:
$ gpg --change-pin
1 - change PIN
2 - unblock PIN
3 - change Admin PIN
Q - quit
Your selection? 2
gpg: sending command `SCD PASSWD' to agent failed: ec=6.32769
Error unblocking the PIN: general error
I have no idea how to proceed, I can't unblock the pin (that is if it is even
block CHV1 = 3 would suggest not...)
