If you've already attached that Classic account to a BOINC account, then there is no way to merge that BOINC account with Classic credits to a different BOINC account. The choice is ultimately yours as to which BOINC account you'd like to use: the one with Classic credit or the one without. If you're very proud of your original start date and Classic credit, then use that one. If you care less about the Classic stuff and want to keep your current BOINC credit, then use the newer one without the Classic attachment. Me? I'd probably use the older one with the original start date. ID: 930673 ·

How can I go about finding my classic account? I had one way back when and I too think I converted it to Boinc some time ago but I have no idea what eMail address I used at the time. Is there someone I can contact? ID: 931411 ·

Is there someone I can contact? You can try doing a search by user name, but without the Email address there is no way of accessing the account. Contact??? 1 million accounts, 3 developers - what do you think.... ID: 931420 ·

You can use this to send the email address an email with login infomation. BOINC WIKI ID: 931452 ·
