If I click the "forgot my account key" link on the login page and fill out the resulting form, I get:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to jill.ssl.berkeley.edu:25 in /disks/setifiler1/home/boincadm/projects/sah/html/inc/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 105

I can't ping jill.ssl.berkeley.edu either, FWIW.

I reported it to the admins, thanks.

In the mean time, if you need your account key, there is another way to get it.
You do need a Boinc installation with Seti for it.

Navigate to your Boinc folder and find the file account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml

Open it with Notepad (or a browser).

Copy the 32 character hexadecimal key from between the <authenticator></authenticator> tags.
That's the account key.
