A team member of mine seems to have forgotten either their password or the email account used for logging into enigma@home. On the website one option for resetting the account is knowing the email address. The second option is:

2) If you forgot your account's email address, or you can't receive email there:
If you have run BOINC under this account, you can still access it. Here's how:

Go to the BOINC data directory on your computer (on Windows this is usually C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC or C:\Program Files\BOINC.
Find your account file for this project; it will be named account_www.enigmaathome.net.xml.
Open the file in a text editor like Notepad. You'll see something like

<account>
<master_url>MASTER_URL/</master_url>
<authenticator>8b8496fdd26df7dc0423ecd43c09a56b</authenticator>
<project_name>Enigma@Home</project_name>
...
</account>

Select and Copy the string between <authenticator> and </authenticator> (8b8496fdd26df7dc0423ecd43c09a56b in the above example).
Paste the string into the field below, and click OK.
You will now be logged in to your account; update the email and password of your account.

The problem is that the user does not have a PC attached currently. However he does have a phone still attached. Where does Android store this info so he can copy and paste it in the field to access his account?

As I said in Where is the BOINC file system on Android??

BOINC will tell you in the event log: data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc/client
Unlike Windows or Linux where the program part runs separately from the data directory, in Android it all runs from one directory.

But like under Windows, this is a hidden directory.

That does mean you cannot easily get there. It can be done when the phone is rooted, but if the user doesn't want to do that, he can use the remote command prompt, and then read this thread at StackOverflow. Probably best to copy the account*.xml files to a directory he owns on the SD card.

Thanks for the quick response. I will relay this.

Oh, hold on.
Seems that the remote command prompt app I pointed to makes it possible for you to contact a PC, not use it on the Android device itself.
Instead use Terminal Emulator for Android

I'm trying this myself as well.
Thus far did:

cd /
cd /
cd data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc
cd client

I can get all the way to data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc but not further due to permission problems.

I'll ask the developers how to get further.

---

Development tells me that it isn't possible to get to the client directory without a rooted phone.
