I have a working Elasticsearch installation with Logstash-fed data. I am having problems with Kibana and am at the point where I want to reinstall it from scratch. I've read that I can delete all .kibana\* indexes, and a re-installation will work. I have exported my saved-items so am planning to re-import them afterwards. Does this sound like it could work?

Ideally, I would like to return to the point where I can get this prompt from Elasticsearch:

```auto
  Configure Kibana to use this cluster:
• Run Kibana and click the configuration link in the terminal when Kibana starts.
• Copy the following enrollment token and paste it into Kibana in your browser (valid for the next 30 minutes):

```

Thanks,

-C
