True, but a new account would give you a fresh start?
Lots of people have had to change accounts for losing their keys.

If you can move money, you don't really have to change anything, just if the keys are compromised you can't recover the account.
I have an account like that, I have the active and posting keys, but can't recover the account without the owner key.
I probably have it on an old computer, but it was time to move on, anyway.
