Albeit not a common scenario, I've been in this situation multiple times and the only way I know to update WiFi settings is by reflashing moOde, wiping all the settings and the music on the card. Appreciate this is complicated to implement, can we maybe look at an alternative - ability to enter the credentials in a text file on the card?
What? Reflashing? Why?
If moOde is configured to associate with an AP and it can't find the AP as it boots up then it reverts to AP mode. (This takes a while on older, slower RPi models.) Not ideal, perhaps, but now you can configure it using your phone/tablet/laptop for the new AP just as if you were configuring for the first time.
You can easily test this yourself. Just configure for a nonexistent AP, reboot, and wait a bit.
Alternatives such as you propose may seem simpler but they aren't simpler to implement.
