How to recover access to a Minicloud instance

Guilherme Tiaki Sato edited this page Jun 23, 2018 · 2 revisions

If you lost your private key, there is no way to recover it, however, you can still access your instances by assigning a new key to it

First, create a new key (either importing or creating a new one directly)

Then, shut off your inaccessible instance

Now, create a snapshot of it

Using the snapshot as an image, launch a new instance, and select the newly created key.

Now you can connect to the new instance as usual. The username remains the same as before.
