With the latest versions of BOINC, you no longer need an account key, just your email address and Password. :-) John McLeod posted not long time ago how to find the accountkey. Open the folder Programs/BOINC. In the root there you see an xml file named account_setiathome.berkeley.edu. Open it in notepad and there, second line I think, you see the line <authenticator>Your accountkey</authenticator> Hope this helps. :-) "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 344618 ·

My former posters are rioght, but the imho easiest way to get it back is to let it sent to you by Seti again;) Go here, give your Email address, and wait a bit for an email to arrive.. ID: 344716 ·

Did you log in and change your password? [edit] another thought is to have them mail you your account key. Use the account key instead of the username and password. BOINC WIKI ID: 344955 ·
