    Hi Jordan,

    welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

    This KB-article explains what to do if you forgot your password or lost access to your secret key.

    There is no need to reset your mac. If you can revoke the old key and create a new key.

    Let me know if the KB is helpful or if you need further assistance.

    Best,
    steve
