I have two setiathome accounts now. One that has my classic data in it (and an old email address), and one that has more recent info/results in it (with a new email address) that i guess i created accidentally. I would like to consolidate these. There seems to be a form for this
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_email_form.php

However, it says the password for my classic account is incorrect. Well, i can access my "classic" account with the password i have now for it (which is different than the old one that i forgot...) Is there a way to consolidate, or just kill my new, accidentally-created account? I want to associate my new email with my old data so I can keep a running total.

Thanks,

Morris

There is no way to merge two accounts. You choose with which one to continue.

The Classic password was a numerical 8 to 10 digit long password. You only ever got it when you specifically requested it on the Seti website. So it's not the password you set on the site here.
