Thanks Robert for your suggestion. I realized that I have to release all reference to the slot. After resetting the token, the slot comes to normal state after I quit form the dialog window that I have used to release the initialized slot. About the prompting for old password during token initialization, I think that problem is with PSM. If I ignore the old-password field and only provide new password, everything works fine. Thanks once again for your help. -- Subrata
