Hello,

I don't recall my password but I remember my e-mail but since it isn't valid anymore when I use the form to send the key to my e-mail it doesn't help me.

I tried using info found in old OS9 files which indicated an account #, but that didn't work either.

Is there any way to send the account key to another e-mail address? I also would like to merge all my previous data to my new account.

Thanks for any help.

regards

You cannot merge two different BOINC accounts - this ability was removed during classic becauese some users had discovered a way of using that ability to steal others accounts. If you are asking about attaching one Classic account, it should be possible to do that with just your email address.

If you have any computer that is still running with the old BOINC account, you can get the account ID from the account_*.xml file with the URL for the project of interest - it is labeled <authenticator>

Is there any way to access the classic account, if I

- still know my old email-address
- but forgot the password (it was a numeric string, wasn't it?)
- an the old email account is inactive

Yes. See the returning Classic participants page: since you apparently just started an account, the form you need to submit is the one whose link is at the very bottom of the page.

thank you, it works!!! great!

is it still possible to access the old classic account to print the old seti-certificates again ? ;)

This link shows you How to Print Your SETI@home Participant Certificate. Although this certificate will not have your totals.

Alternatively you can print thisCertificate of Computationwhich will show your Classic total and your current Boinc credit or just your Classic total.
