http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2013-March/046261.html should have the info you need. I save the reset code block to a text file ("reset.txt") and then run " gpg-connect-agent < reset.txt". Remove and reinsert the card and it should be back to factory defaults. It is worth pointing out that this completely nukes any keys on the card. Cheers! -Pete
