Hi,

I have an old account at SETI and BOINC. I located it and this is it:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=5605

But I do not remember which email I have used nor the password. I haven't used BOIN for a couple of years, so I don't have a computer with the installed BOINC client...

Can you help me?

Not really, no. You'd have to try out different email addresses. When you now go to your Account, log out, then go to your Account again and you get the log in window. Follow the "Forgot password?" link. Then start filling in email addresses that you can remember. One will probably be recognized at some point and then on that one there will be a link waiting for you to log in with.

Another option is that you some time way in the past got the email from Seti that had your account key in it. The account key is a 32 character (numbers plus letters a to f) key that you can use to log in with when you follow the "Forgot email address?" link in the log in option.
