How do you reset a "DIGIPASS 260"

[Zuccers]

So, yeah i blocked my Digipass 260 and then i tried removing the battery, which only ended up in a screen that tells me to config a new pin, but nothing else can be done, I am asking the linus tech tips engineers :D. Thanks in advance :)

Yeah, but it doesn't say anything, as you are not supposed to go in to the device itself (open it)

You'll need the assistance of an administrator of your Digipass to unlock it if it was locked out by too many PIN attempts. Nothing in this manual goes over "blocked" Digipasses though, so without further documentation, it'll be best to contact the issuer of your Digipass for more assistance.

5.1.6 Unlock Digipass
If a User incorrectly enters their Digipass PIN into their Digipass a predetermined number of
times, the Digipass will become locked. Once locked, the assistance of an administrator will be
required to unlock it. This function allows an administrator to provide the User with an Unlock
Code to enter into their Digipass.

Yeah, were getting there, just need to know the admin pass, interesting, can it be hacked?

Anything can be hacked given enough time and money, however, one would hope that VASCO put safeguards in place to prevent bruteforcing the admin password, or better yet, made it so the microchip would physically destroy itself after too many failed attempts in order to protect the information on the Digipass.
