Restoring smart card data
You can restore the smart card data from the recovery file. This is
especially useful if a card was lost or stolen, or if you want to
create a backup smart card. If you use a card with previous data
saved on it, the data will be overwritten.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
■ Access to a computer with Smart Card Security software
installed
■ Smart card recovery file
■ Smart card recovery file password
■ Smart card
To restore a smart card:
1. Select Start > All Programs > HP ProtectTools Security
Manager.
2. In the left pane, select Smart Card Security, and then select
Smart Card.
3. Insert the diskette or other media containing the smart card
recovery file.
4. Insert a smart card into the reader. If the card is not
initialized, you will be prompted to initialize it. For detailed
instructions on initializing the smart card, refer to
“Initializing the smart card,” earlier in this chapter.
5. In the right pane, under Recovery, click Restore.
6. Ensure that the correct recovery file name is selected, and
enter the recovery file password.
7. Enter the smart card PIN.
8. Click OK. The original smart card contents are restored to
the new smart card.
