Hello. I was wondering if a true admin could help me locate my old classic account to attach to the new one. I know what e-mail I used for the vast majority of the time I had the account. It seems maybe I switched it at the end......can anybody help? |

I'm not sure why you need an Admin to help you. Right on the front page there's a link: Instructions for SETI@home Classic users. Since you already have a BOINC account, you should use the last option under "If you're already using BOINC", claim your SETI@home Classic workunits. Simply enter in the email address you used for Classic and it should be merged with your current account. |

I KNOW THAT. No Classic account exists with the e-mail address: *****@*****.*** |

If you can't remember the email you used for the original account your chances of having someone try to find it are slim to none. I had a big time crash 12 Dec 2011 and SETI was the least of my problems. I didn't think about the project for over a year. I did remember the email and password though and when I came back I was surprised to see all of my computers listed from 2006 on. So your information is there but without your original email and password I don't know how it could be found among the millions of abandoned accounts. How could one prove that was their account anyway as there are no secret questions. |

Then the email address is incorrect. |

I am not sure that they have anyone free to look up old info in such a fashion currently. Even when classic was the only project the didn't really have the time/staff to look up such things. I had forgotten my original account address and had to create a new one in Sept '99.
