I had an old account that I was able to successfully transfer to this computer. Problem is, I tried to start a new account (don\'t ask me why, long story), and while this has my current email, I want to change my email in the old account to reflect it\'s current usage. The new account is redundant, so I want to get rid of it.

Please help me find my new account, so it can be deleted. It prevents me from updating my email in the old account.
ie: message given:
\"Change email address of account
There\'s already an account with that email address\"

Only you can find your new account.

It should be listed in the Account file in the BOINC folder. Use the security code number plus your new username to login. (The number is the long string of characters in: authenticator which is near the top of the file: account_climateprediction.net.xml)

Access is based on the combination of username + email-address, so you can change either to something different, (e.g. add a number to your name in \"new\" account).

Then log out of your \"new\" account, and log in to your \"old\" account and change the email address.
