If the Delete PIN message appears, click
Yes
to delete the PIN associated
with this token, or click
No
to leave the PIN assigned to the user from whom
this token is being disassociated.
Note: Deleting a token PIN gives that user the option to add a new PIN when
receiving the new token. If you do not delete the PIN from a user’s Properties,
that user will need to use the assigned PIN even when receiving a new token.

You have now created a new association between this user and the token
records, and may give the token to its new user.
Deleting token records from the database
There are situations when you will need to delete token records from the
database. If a token is lost, stolen, or broken, its token records are obsolete
since you will not be able to reassign the token to another user. You should
delete obsolete token records from your database. Deleting them provides
space to add new token records when your organization purchases additional
SafeWord tokens.

In ADUC, expand the
SafeWord
node in the left pane, and select the
Tokens
icon.

From the Token serial number
list on the right side of the window, select
one or more tokens to delete and right-click the selection, and select
Delete
.
If the token is already assigned to a user, the Token Assigned message
appears to confirm that you really want to delete the token record.
Important: If you delete tokens at this point, and then restore the database, all
token user associations will be lost.
Tip: Multiple token records can be selected and deleted simultaneously. You
can also highlight a token and use the
Delete
button on the toolbar to delete
token records.

the token without removing the records from the database, see
“Reassigning Hardware and Messaging tokens” on page 50.
