Restoring a Smart Card Without the Recovery File

If you want to restore a smart card and you have no recovery file (or if
you have forgotten the recovery file password), you need to prepare a
new smart card with a new PIN and (if applicable) all the necessary
account information.
If a randomly generated password was used (refer to page 55 for
information), then you, as the administrator, will have to change the
password before preparing the new smart card. You will need to enter
this password when you add the account information to the new smart
card.
For instructions, refer to "Preparing a Smart Card for Use: Overview"
on page 36.
If the user enters the PIN incorrectly five times, the smart card will be
automatically locked. Once locked, the smart card is unusable and
should be discarded in an environmentally friendly way.
Adding an Account to a Smart Card (Windows NT/Windows
2000)
This option can be used if the single owner of the smart card has
different accounts. However, it is strongly recommended that you avoid
sharing smart cards with other people. Sharing smart cards greatly
reduces security levels.
To allow access to a PC, the smart card must contain the account
information for that user. Before you begin, you must have all the
necessary account information for the user, such as username,
password and domain name.
To add an account to a smart card:
