# Reset Client Polaris Credentials

`POST /api/v1/admin/polaris/clients/{client_id}/credentials/reset`

Clear a partial Polaris credential state and mint a fresh principal.

For recovering a client stuck with some-but-not-all of the three
credential columns set — the normal mint refuses to operate on a partial
row. Clears the orphaned columns and mints via the client's key. A fully
provisioned client is returned unchanged.
