I have quite the same problem. New cards are in the state MANUFACTURING. I can initialize the card with the Siemens-Tool 'Card Viewer.exe'. Afterwards the card is in the state OPERATIONAL and the temporal (until next power cycle) transition to ADMINISTRATION is protected by a pin. I think the pin is queried by pkcs15-init, but none of the pins I configured during initialization with 'Card Viewer.exe' do work.
What I have to answer to the question from pkcs15-init: 'Please enter Unspecified PIN [reference 116]:' ? >From which source do you get cards which are in the state ADMINISTRATION ?
