I want to reset the microk8s config of my node. Basically what I want is that all people that ever had access to the config will not be able to connect to the server with it anymore and that a new config is created. How do I renew this?

This is how i will do.

1. first generate a new token like this.

```auto
admin_token=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | ${SNAP}/usr/bin/base64)

```

1. Get the value of the `admin_token`

2. replace the token in the row with `admin` In the file `/var/snap/microk8s/current/credentials/known_tokens.csv`

3. Dont forget to also replace the token in the file  
`/var/snap/microk8s/current/credentials/client.config`

4. Restart microk8s.

**Don’t forget to backup any file you are going to modify.**
