But I don't have a user password and when I click on "If you don't know your password, click here" I get told that there is no user with my email account. ID: 91529 ·

There is no place on the BOINC site to request a password. On the BOINC pages you can request an account key. You have a SETI BOINC account, not a Classic account. You have your account key or else you wouldn't be able to attach to the project or post here. ID: 91556 ·

But in the BOINC Manager, when you click in the project website link, you are referred to http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ and there is a user section where you can login to your user account, using a password. When signing up however, I received an account key but not a password. ID: 91568 ·

The site http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ will eventually be the site of BOINC S@H after classic is shut down in a month or two. BOINC WIKI ID: 92195 ·
