To reset a passphrase you obviously need a passphrase (otherwise, whatʼs use in it)?

Removing a keypair is possible, of course, but do not do that (at least, yet).

Enigmailʼs UI for creating a new keypair is not so hard to find: itʼs under Enigmail / Key Management / Generate / New Key Pair.

First of all, itʼs perfectly normal to have multiple own keypairs in the same keyring.  So no any urgent need in getting rid of the current one.

Secondly, Enigmail does not store your keys, itʼs a frontend to GPG, so purging it wonʼt achieve anything.

You may rename ~/.gnupg in order to create a pristine one, though, if you find it easier.
