# Resetting a VPS NAT

Reset reinstalls the operating system of your VPS NAT. Everything on the disk is permanently deleted.

## Steps

1. Make sure important data has been backed up first.
2. Open your VPS NAT from the [VPS NAT](https://sumopod.com/dashboard/vps-nat) list and click **Manage**.
3. Go to the **Configuration** tab and scroll to **Reset VPS**, then click **Reset VPS**.

4. Type the VPS NAT name in the confirmation field.
5. Set a **New password** for the reinstalled server, or click **Generate**.
6. Complete the **Security Verification**, then click **Reset VPS** and wait for the process to finish.

## Notes

- This cannot be undone. All files, configurations, and installed software are permanently deleted.
- A VPS NAT can only be reset once per day.
- The VPS NAT is reinstalled with the same operating system. There is no Change OS option for VPS NAT.
- Your NAT hostname, domain, port mappings, plan, and expiry date stay the same — only the disk is wiped. Services must be started again after the reset.
- The new password must be 8–64 characters, letters and digits, with no spaces. It is not stored, so save it before you submit.
- The SSH host key changes, so your terminal will warn about a changed host on the next connection. Remove the old key with the `ssh-keygen -R` command shown in the dialog, then connect again.
