I started a new node because my computer went down and I got disqualified on all satellites. I Used my same IP but started fresh with new Identity as soon as my node went online it said it was disqualified from 3 satellites. is there a way to fix this and did I do something wrong? ---

You must request a new auth token, sign a new identity with it and start without the data of the old node. ---

Seems you used your previously generated identity. You need to remove it and generate a new one, then request a new authorization token and sign it: > **[Step 5. Create an Identity - Storj Docs](https://docs.storj.io/node/get-started/identity)** > > Make the world your data center @jammerdan Using a new authorization token for the old identity will not give you a new identity, it will still be the same old identity and if it’s running somewhere, it will be disqualified almost instantly. ---

When I restarted my node I deleted everything on the Drive corresponding to storj including the Identity files and redownloaded everything again. ---

I let the node Sit overnight and everything came online this morning sorry and thanks for the help. ---

What is reputation of this node now? > [@duramax4win](#): > > When I restarted my node I deleted everything on the Drive corresponding to storj including the Identity files and redownloaded everything again. You should generate a new identity, not re-download. I mean literally ```auto ./identity.exe create storagenode ``` Then sign it with a new authorization token ```auto ./identity.exe authorize storagenode your@email:1Fhdhfhfmurikfkfgstt3hdyebduur7rhdhhdjfurujrj.... ``` Then move it to the drive for data from the printed path and use it to setup a new node. If you already have an identity in the default path (`%AppData%\Storj\Identity\storagenode`), you may either remove it before generation, or use a new name for the storage node, like `storagenode2` instead of `storagenode`, it will create a subfolder `storagenode2` in the default path `%AppData%\Storj\Identity\`. ---

Then I guess this identity is not disqualified. If it’s, then you need to make a new one as described above. The disqualification state is permanent, the node cannot recover from it unlike online score or suspension score.
