The Crescendo C1150 PIN will lock if the user presents six consecutive incorrect PINs. When
the PIN is locked, you cannot use the card until you unlock the PIN.
In this deployment mode, an additional tool is needed to generate the cryptogram based on
the input challenge and the default ADMIN key (binary value
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000).
Other deployment modes with a central card management system are recommended for a
simplified unlock process.
