# Tests
-Warning! Before you run unittests please either change both your Admin and User PINs on your Nitrostick to defaults (`12345678` and `123456` respectively) or change the values in tests source code. If you do not change them the tests might lock your device and lose your data. If it's too late, you can reset your Nitrokey using instructions from [homepage](https://www.nitrokey.com/de/documentation/how-reset-nitrokey).
+**Warning!** Most of the tests will overwrite user data. The only user-data safe tests are specified in `unittest/test_safe.cpp` (see *C++ tests* chapter).

For better coverage [randomly plugin](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-randomly) is installed - it randomizes the test order allowing to detect unseen dependencies between the tests.
## C++ tests
-There are also some unit tests implemented in C++, placed in unittest directory. They are not written as extensively as Python tests and are rather more a C++ low level interface check, often not using C++ API from `NitrokeyManager.cc`. Some of them are: [test_HOTP.cc](https://github.com/Nitrokey/libnitrokey/blob/master/unittest/test_HOTP.cc),
