I haven't been using this long. I forgot how to fix this thing.
I've deleted sparkcore device from build.particle.io
I tried reset.

particle flash --factory tinker
particle flash --usb cc3000
particle flash --usb tinker

particle setup

Still show up Please login - it appears your access_token may have expired

No luck. I did particle doctor.

Make sure your device is in DFU mode (blinking yellow), and that your computer is online.

How do you fix this?

Never mind. I fixed it in seconds. Here's how you do it on mac....

Terminal

npm uninstall -g spark-cli
npm uninstall -g particle-cli

Go to Nodejs

Download 5.10.1 Stable
Run the program.

sudo npm install -g particle-cli

particle flash --factory tinker
particle flash --usb cc3000
particle keys doctor ########### (your old key)
particle flash --usb tinker
particle setup

Lol, you do not need to do that all.

Simply login at https://build.particle.io
Go to settings settings -> reset token

Then on your local machine invoke the following:

particle logout
particle login

to refresh the token on the machine and you are done.
