      I uploaded a new certificate to pfSense and the private key was encrypted with a password.  Now I can't access the web interface (it doesn't response to http/https).

      How can I reset certificate back to "webconfigurator default"?  (or what other options do I have)

      …or how can I replace my private key with a non-encrypted version from an SSH console?

          Thanks…  These don't really cover certificate problems though.
