SmartCard login issue

Was testing SmardCard reader on MacBook Pro M1 Sonoma MacOS and now I can't login anymore.


Instructions I used are from here

Advanced smart card options on Mac – Apple Support (UK)


Tried with call canter and no progress to resolve the issue of login in or disable the smartcard.

Since I cannot login to computer I cannot use Terminal comands to unpair.


Tried to reboot to Options menu open a Terminal but no "sudo" command


With phone support guy went deeply thru folders to manually remove the profile but without success.

Settings, Store, Setup folders are empty.

Any of these files cannot be found.


rm /Volumes//var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/MDM_ComputerPrefs.plist 
rm /Volumes//var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/.profilesAreInstalled 
rm /Volumes//var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Settings/.profilesAreInstalled 
rm /Volumes//var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Store/ConfigProfiles.binary 
rm /Volumes//var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Setup/.profileSetupDone 


I can change login password but smartcard is still required.


Any help would be appreciated.

thanx in advance



MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
