115+
116+
### Symptoms
117+
- You are unable to connect to your Instance via SSH.
118+
- Your SSH key is missing, or you cannot locate the corresponding private key.
119+
120+
### Possible causes

124+
### Troubleshooting tips
125+
126+
- Check for another SSH key:
127+

128+
- Login using the alternative SSH key
129+
130+
- Use the Scaleway console to add a new SSH key
131+
- Upload another SSH key in the [SSH key section](https://console.scaleway.com/project/ssh-keys) of your Instance's Scaleway project.
132+
- Reboot the Instance from the console to re-upload the new key to the Instance.
