I have a mac. How do I delete mist and re-download it + blockchain so I can start fresh? My original password is not working (only 1 eth in it so not worried about loss).
If it needs to be deleted through terminal and you can direct me through the process it would be much appreciated : )
To make a new account in Mist Ethereum Wallet dapp:
Make sure that Ethereum Wallet is started
Make sure you are on the Wallets tab
Click "+ Add Account" under the Accounts section
Type a new password
Once you have a new account, make sure to make a backup
(No need to delete the blockchain just to make a new account.)
Mist is actually not directly connected to the blockchain or your account. It's just a UI over top of the actual Ethereum client.
If you look on your mac you should see the folder ~/Library/Ethereum. It actually contains the blockchain and your account keys in the keystore sub-directory. DO NOT DELETE THE FILES IN THE KEYSTORE DIRECTORY they are the keys to your account. If fact you should back them up to a secure place.
You can delete Mist simply by deleting the Mist folder. But I wouldn't delete the ~/Library/Ethereum folder unless you want to download the entire blockchain again.
As for your original password. If you lost that, you're pretty much out of luck.
