Logging in without valid PIN, with passphrase

You can log in to TSO/E without a currently valid PIN using pass phrases. This use case requires a fob-style hardware token.

Procedure

Perform the following steps:

  1. Begin to log in to TSO/E with your user name.
  2. Get the 6- to 8-digit token code displayed by the SecurID token.
  3. Enter the 6- to 8-digit token code displayed by the SecurID token in the Password field. Press Enter.
    If the token code is accepted, a status message indicates that you must enter a new 4- to 8-digit PIN.
    Note: Do not enter the new PIN on the status message page.
  4. Press Enter.
    The LOGON panel is displayed and you are prompted to enter a new password.
  5. Enter a new PIN in the Password field and press Enter. (If you are prompted with a system-generated PIN, use that PIN. You might also be prompted to use either the system-generated PIN or your own.)
  6. Confirm the PIN.
    If accepted, the "new PIN accepted" message is displayed.
  7. Press Enter to return to the LOGON panel.
  8. Because you changed the PIN, you must log in again. Wait for the token code displayed by the SecurID token to change. Get the new token code.
  9. Enter your PIN followed by the 6- to 8-digit token code displayed by the SecurID token in the Password field. Press Enter.
