Cryptoucan™ usage: Changing PIN on Ubuntu

You've downloaded all the necessary software, you've set up Enigmail, so what's next? You need to set new PIN codes up only known to you once you!

• administrative PIN3 - used for generating keys or recovering user PIN1.

You can change both of these in the same way, with only small changes in the process. Here's how!
