Forgotten PIN

To find out more about your LincPass PIN and PIN resets, please visit the USAccess website: http://www.fedidcard.gov/credreset.aspx.

• The PIN must be reset before the certificates on the card can be renewed. To schedule an appointment for a PIN reset (and/or a certificate update), please visit the center locator to find the nearest Credentialing Center: http://www.fedidcard.gov/centerlocator.aspx.
