It could be as DD said; B&N may be using a multiple & random process.

Or it's a B&N-wide glitch.
I'm not having any trouble with Nook for PC (other then the usual slow and buggy). And the latest update to any device/app is August. Others haven't been updated since long before I saw people finding it completely impossible to unlock their books.

I think it is like DD said that it is using something that the Nook apps and devices would already know. But since we don't know what it is, we can't put it into 3rd party readers or Alf's plug-in.

Looks like a deliberate effort to toughen their DRM and pull the support for sideloading of B&N books. In other words, they've learned nothing. They are giving up an advantage they had over their competition. And they are hastening the day of their demise.
