I recently added Climate Prediction to my BOINC program. The problem is that I had to create a new account as I couldn\'t get the system to recognize me. When I tried entering my account name and password, I kept getting an error message stating that it did not recognize either the account name or password. ( actually, I believe the word it used was \"invalid\" if I\'m not mistaken ). I would like to have this under my existing account ( and linked to my Team!! ) for obvious reasons. Can anyone help?

When you refer to an existing account, was that one created for CPDN? You cannot, at present, attach to different projects without creating an account with each. BOINC will, though, link them up by creating a cross-project identity automatically. You can also change the password yourself (your account on the left).

Are you entering the account key you were sent when you created the account JC? It should be copied to the password automatically, but that doesn\'t always happen :(

If that\'s your problem you need to go to the \"Change password\" link on the \"Your account\" page (this is a direct link) and set up your own password. Use that when you connect to the project.
