I have accidentally deleted or lost my Private Key

First check your backups and see if you can re-install the "private key".
If you don't know how to re-install the key from your backups, then contact your systems administrator.
Failing that, contact your web server software vendor for technical support.
The only alternative course of action available is a re-issuance of the certificate following the re-submitting of a replacement CSR.

To re-submit a CSR please login to your account and select the reissue certificate option.
