It so happens that my old S@H account is registered on a mailaddress that has been taken down, so I can't retrieve my password. I need to change the e-mail of my old account, can this be done? The old account is GloFF (ID 187876). ID: 1212958 ·

The old account is GloFF (ID 187876). Do you still have a machine running BOINC? Do you have a backup of your BOINC data directory? Can you buy the domain (they go for about $20 or so for a year).

All my machines running BOINC on that account is long gone. The only thing I remember is the e-mail address used for login, but this e-mail isn't functional anymore and so I can't get hold of the password reset process. ID: 1213167 ·

Oh well, I just linked my old one to my new one. You have been absent for quite a while. Classic accounts can only be attached to one BOINC account. Make certain that you remember your password for the BOINC account (I would suggest KeePass or similar). BOINC WIKI ID: 1213407 ·

Hehe, I have better password management now, than back then. But yeah, absent for quite a while. I can remember doing WUs on AthlonXPs and early AMD64s. Anyway, how does Classic WUs count towards credits these days? My new account got my original joindate after I linked the old account to it and I can see the Classic WUs got transferred, as Classic WUs. ID: 1213546 ·

Unfortunately, there is no way of doing the computation from Classic Credits (one per WU no matter how long it took) to BOINC credit (based on Floating Point Operations Done).
