ARGH!!!!

I've been using SETI/BOINC for years. My father started the account. I recently wiped my Windows PC and reloaded everything, but I absolutely cannot attach SETI. I have included the proper e-mail address and am using the "Project Key" from the e-mail we were sent from SETI.

It keeps telling me that it can't find the account. Hell, I used the Project Key to log in to post THIS, so it must be somewhere!

This is all after I couldn't install the stupid thing as a service which I would prefer.

This is really irritating. I just want it to work.

I'm a sys admin for Heaven's Sake. This isn't rocket science (well, not on my end anyway).

Why won't this work?!

Thanks!

When you activated your account, you got an account key, but did you create a password for your account. If you didn't, you can do it when you go to "Your account" with "Change password".
With that password, not the password of Classic, and your e-mail address it should work.

Thanks, that worked. It's strange, though that I didn't need to do this when I FIRST installed BOINC. I simply used the key my father gave me from the e-mail sent to him from SETI and it worked. Why it is different now is beyond me. But it's working, so cool. Thanks.

It worked the first time because the email/password login just happened in the 5.x.x series, when you first set up the account it was 4.x or perhaps even earlier. That's caught a few people unawares!
