Changing Your Node Provider Principal

If you have lost access to your Node Provider Principal, you will need to create a new one and update the NNS.

1. Go through steps I-III on the Node Provider Onboarding page to install the necessary software and create a principal with a Ledger device and the NNS front-end dapp
   • There is no need to create a new Node Operator HSM (steps IV-VI), as long as the HSM(s) at your Data Center(s) are still usable.
2. Follow step VII on the Node Provider Onboarding page to register the principal in the NNS.
   • Create a post on https://forum.dfinity.org/ AND also
