That is you hexadecimal random key that you were sent by e-mail when you opened your account.
Authenticator=Key
Hint: It wants your Key.

P.S. Be careful you don't copy and paste any other symbols like (.)! That's a no-no...causing instant rejection.

The one they e-mail you has spaces round it, a quick cut/paste copies these as well and won't work (the boinc client is too stupid to strip them off) - from what dogbytes said, that could be the cause.

Hmmm.. well, I tried attaching to it again and it said I was already attached to it. (duh.. ;)) and then I tried to Reset (not sure what that did..) and still was getting the above error so I finally just detached and re-attached and all was well. I probably could have edited the xml file with that long string in it but ahwell. I'm up and running now. Something must have goofed, cause I was running the Boinc 3.03 and installed 4.05 after first uninstalling 3.03, but not rebooting or clearing the old directory structure, and with all the stuff going on the last couple.. hehe.. ;)!
