WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED

Yesterday I setup my node for the first time. After battling an rvm installation for the better part of a day I decided to wipe my node clean and start over. So I blew the image away and started over. When I try to ssh I'm getting the following message. I know there are instructions in the error message, but I'm having trouble following them to a solution. Can someone help me?

Thanks

It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is

Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/bopritchard/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.

You need to remove line 21 from your local computer's /Users/bopritchard/.ssh/known_hosts file. You can also use "ssh-keygen -R " (ran on your local computer) to do the same thing.
