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:
-
Begin to log in to TSO/E with your user name.
-
Get the 6- to 8-digit token code displayed by the SecurID token.
-
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.
-
Press Enter.
The LOGON panel is displayed and you are prompted to enter a new password.
-
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.)
-
Confirm the PIN.
If accepted, the "new PIN accepted" message is displayed.
-
Press Enter to return to the LOGON panel.
-
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.
-
Enter your PIN followed by the 6- to 8-digit token code displayed by the SecurID token
in the Password field. Press Enter.
