Hi there

I used to run SETI many years ago and recently I have decided to start back up using a Rapsberry Pi

I have had to create this new account but I would like to continue with my old account but the email address I had is no longer valid. I would be able to provide personal details to prove it was my account but wondered if there is anyone I can contact to do this?

Thanks in advance

Rich

The email address does not have to be "currently valid", but you do have to know the password you used when you last signed in on that account.

That is the problem, it is an old password, I have tried a number of what I thought it might be but no luck

Do know we're BOINC, not Seti. Seti's address is https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

So make sure you do your tests at the right page.
