Hi.

I have lost all info regarding my global BOINC account, and all my BOINC projects: the email I registered with, the associated password, and my account keys. The one thing I managed to find is my CPDN account key, which is why I am here ;-) I cannot login to any other project site :-/

I still have the BOINC client running on one PC... Can I get that info off of it ?

Thanks in advance for any help

In the BOINC folder are some xml files with most of the info.
account_climateprediction.net has a line near the top between 2 \"authenticator\"s.
This is your account key.
client_state has various stings, which should I think, include all of your projects.
e.g. the cpid. I only run cpdn, so I can\'t help further, but if you look through this file, you should find a fair bit.
Passwords are a different matter. You may have to do a \"change password\" on each site.
You can get the urls for projects <a href=\"http://boinc.berkeley.edu/\"> here</a> on the Berkeley front page.

Once you have taken a few deep breaths and recovered, write down what you can find.
If you need more help, there\'s always someone around.
Good luck.
