How do I update my access key id from an old one on AWS CLI?

My goal is to access my s3 buckets from the command line using my AWS educate account.

I expected to get a list of my s3 buckets in the command prompt. I typed in this command. aws s3 ls

I actually received an error message saying Invalid Access Key ID. They shown do not match they key on the home age of my AWS educate account.

How do I change the keys listed to match the ones on my AWS Educate home page? I think if I correct this then I will be able to access my s3 buckets with aws cli.

aws-cli amazon-web-services amazon-s3

Run:

aws configure

And follow the prompts to configure a new Access Key and Secret Access Key.

If this isn't working, there are two other things you can check:

  1. Have you set any of the following environment variables? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-envvars.html. These can override the ones set using aws configure
  2. If that fails, check that $HOME/.aws/credentials is not write protected, or even try updating the credentials manually.
