key info is correct, fingerprints are shown right...

Trying to change the PIN and the admin PIN from default the gpg program says something like "usage prerequirities not present" trying to unblock the PIN it says "invalid value"...

so how do I change the PINs after initial creation of the keypair to not use the default PINs? What do I do wrong in the commands pasted here?

the HowTo https://www.yubico.com/2012/12/yubikey-neo-openpgp/ says --change-pin - so should I use "gpg --card-edit --change-pin" ?,
the card-edit dev document examples https://developers.yubico.com/PGP/Card_edit.html should show me the right way to do it - that's the way I tried above...

Can't I change the PIN after a key is written to the card? So do I have to change the PIN before generating a key and writing it to the card?

Are you using 8 digits for the admin pin ?

No, are user and admin PIN fixed digit?

No minimum 8, please try 12345678

I tried an 8 digit PIN - it worked - also a 6 digit PIN for the standard PIN - thanks for the clarification - as the gpg error messages don't clearly say that there's a minimum PIN length...

Just something to add: I still can't set the reset code - using the new admin PIN I configured... - Is there also a 6-digit-limitation? Because GPG says that there's a wrong PIN even if I double checked the PIN
