Doesn't sound super special. I suppose if you knew the exact soup where
the pin number was kept, you could write the right Newtonscript and make
it a packages that zaps it as soon as the package initializes. Then you
could stick that on any card, and when the Newt initializes the new card,
it would zap the PIN.
The special part is knowing the soup and the right object to reset. :)
