How to reset lock code?

[sunknudsen]

I am developing a YubiKey provisioning script and forgot to save lock code used during tests.

Searched docs and found how to reset applets, but not config lock code.

Please help!

I would suggest you contact Yubico support

Hi @sunknudsen. By any chance, have you found a chance to reset or recover the lock code?
I am afraid I am in the situation as you...
Thanks !

Hey @sin4ts, unfortunately no… my gut feeling is that this is by design so employees can’t repurpose company issued YubiKeys.

Sorry to read you might have locked yourself out from your YubiKey. 😔

That's annoying... Thanks for your feedback anyway :)

Correct - by design, the interface config lock code (set by ykman config set-lock-code) can be reset only if you have the current lock code.

The same is also true of the OTP slot access code(s) (set by ykman otp settings --new-access-code).

Thanks @emlun !
