RSA Token - Fail to open token service error

This error comes mostly if you try attempting to open RSA SecureID Software Token after very long time or you attempted wrong database password to unlock the token id (*.sdtid) file. Simple is delete the token and re-import the token in RSA SecureID Software Token.

Caution: You should have *.sdtid file to re-import, else you may need to contact your administrator to get it added to RSA application.

Navigate to the following location in your Windows 7 system:

C:\Users\{your_username}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\RSA Security\RSA SecurID Software Token\

and delete of rename the file "SoftwareTokens.DB"
