Sure.

I generated first my KEY into my paper account. But afterwards, I reseted this account. Never thought about the KEY itself. It was also reseted.

So just generate a new KEY.

Thanks, what values do you use for fields:

private const String KEY\_ID = “PKIB1…8LEBFS”;  
private const String SECRET\_KEY = “x2ob…2hw”;

These?
