If you need to change the eToken PIN, you could either use your firefox or thunderbird and change the Master Password of your newly loaded crypto module.
But if you need to change the PIN at the command line, you hopefully have not entered or generated an administrator password under Windows yet. This would correspond to the SO-Pin.
So if you have initialized the token without an administrator password, you can now change your user pin under linux by a little trick:
pkcs11-tool --module /usr/local/lib/libetpkcs11.so --init-pin
You are asked for the SO-Pin. Enter your old user PIN and then enter your new Pin.
