	Hallo! I have an account created 10 years ago: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=511961 But I can't remember which email address I used back in these days, so I cant log in anymore. I send my old account a private-message and a friend request but I dont get any mails :( So I think I have no access to this address anymore. What can I do? To verify that this is my account, you can make a Whois on the domain listed in the Profile or send a email to something@aaron-mueller.de. Please, I want my old account back :( Aaron

Please, I want my old account back :( Aaron If it was 10 years ago, it would have been a classic account, not a BOINC account. You can find information on how to attach your current BOINC account to your Classic account here, which is linked from the SETI@Home home page. You can try several old email addresses when attempting to attach the account. If it was more recent than that (within the last 5 or 6 years), then you have to either have access to your email account, or you have to have a backup of the BOINC data directory from the time. The BOINC data directory will have a file named client_state.xml. If you have not found this file, you have not found the directory. When you do find this directory, look for account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml. This file will have an authenticator in it that can be used as an alternate method for logging in. *NOTE: Do not EVER post your authenticator anywhere. It can be used to impersonate you.* ____________ BOINC WIKI

	You last used the old account: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=511961 not too long ago (11 May 2009) http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/hosts_user.php?sort=rpc_time&rev=0&show_all=1&userid=511961 1) You can just try every email address you used in the past 10 years 2) If this computer (or any of the 5 computers used with the old account) still exist (HDD not erased): AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT (1023MB) Linux 2.6.28-11-generic find the file: account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml and use the found inside: <authenticator>1111122222333334444455555xxxxx</authenticator> to enter (Log-in) the old account. ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)

	Now detach any computer you attached to the new (Credit: 0) account (I think Power Macintosh was/is attached) and attach it again to the old (Credit: 10,646) account. ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)
