You cannot get the credits that have already been sent to the wrong account. On the machine that needs to change accounts, uninstall boinc. Install BOINC. Then you can either attach normally, or, you can copy the account_*.xml files from the computer that is already attached to the one that is not. To do this, you stop BOINC, copy the files, and start BOINC again.

Now that I think about it again, a detach/attach will work most of the time. This is what I get for posting while asleep.
