Until today I was running BOINC and had long since passed (was it) silver? Today I went to add my new computer to the project with a view to moving all BOINC to the new laptop. I selected 'something' believing that I was introducing the new laptop to my setup - and then everything got deleted!! The running task was deleted (or moved to infinity) and I can not log into BOINC anyway on the new laptop because I don't know my log in details. I post this because the login data is remembered on this laptop although invisible otherwise. I don't know what I did wrong so I can't correct it. I looked at my 'total' (which I knew was quite high for me) but it shows no computer yet allocated!!!!!!!!! If the situation can be rescued, that is fine. If not, I shan't lose any sleep over it; it will just be wasted processing time. I'm running the latest BOINC version and the WCG. I have logged time on SETI@home previously but now devote the cycles to cancer projects.... regards Lawrence Harris |

Since you got here with another computer, it should be possible to have that computer display the password it used. How depends on what browser you are using and the O/S. Google is your friend. That should get you into the projects, assuming the same password or it has all of them stored. |

Your reply gave me an idea: I changed the password to a new one so I can now log in with the new password - but it still shows me as having not done any work at all! I don't know what has gone wrong. Lawrence |
