<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>This <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/gpg-keychain-faq/how-to-revoke-a-key-or-user-id-and-can-i-delete-a-key-from-the-key-servers#lost-access-to-secret-key-or-password">KB article</a> explains your options, in case you lost access to your secret key or password.</p>
<p>Take your time to go through that KB article, especially the section about <strong>Lost access to secret key or password</strong>. The other important section is <strong>3. Revoke key</strong>: "If your key was created with GPG Suite 2015.06 or later, a revocation certificate can be found at ~/.gnupg/RevCerts. In that case revocation is easy." That section has exact steps how to proceed in that case.</p>
<p>Let me know if this was helpful.</p>
<p>Best,<br>
Steve</p></div>Steve
