# Reset StackOS Account

In a situation where an account is:

* Not fully configured
* In need of an infrastructure upgrade

You may also face this situation if your pod/container boots and functions perfectly "internally" when you "kubectl exec app-0xAddr -- bash" , but does not respond to external connections.  This usually affects accounts that have been established "long ago" before a major security upgrade.  An account reset will help re-provision your resources under a new security environment.

\
**The next step is to either move to a new Metamask account, or "reset" the account.**

\
In the case of resetting the account, the procedure is:

* Withdraw the $STACK
* Reset the account
* Redeposit the $STACK

\
Below are screenshots that show the process:

**Your account reset is complete.  You may re-deposit to set up your account again.**
