Message 878627 - Posted: 23 Mar 2009, 17:56:32 UTC

Hey all,
About seven or eight years ago, I founded a team at my college. Since then, I stopped working on SETI@home. I've recently had the urge to begin again, but I can't access the account I used. It's still listed as the founder of the team (Doane College - user "dmc") but none of the email addresses I would have used to set it up are still valid. I don't have any documentation from the original project. Any thoughts?

Was it a BOINC account or a SETI Classic account?

If the latter (which is probably the case if your estimate of seven or eight years is correct) then try the For SETI@home Classic participants link on the SETI homepage (or in this message :-).

Gruß,

It was indeed a classic account. I had to guess about 15 different possible email addresses but it finally worked! Thanks so much for the info.
