Hi all, I'm recently returning after a loooong hiatus from the project. I would like to recover my original profile (user ID 371471), but don't have access to the email address with which I registered the account anymore and have no idea what the password is.

Ideally, I would keep the work units from the current one, but would certainly settle for just regaining access to the original. Any mods or admins have the ability to help me out? I can at least validate that I know the email address linked to the account.

Thanks!

Looks like I might be out of luck?

Yes, unless you have access to the old email address, there's no way to guarantee that you are the owner of the other account. Even if they're in the same name.

Right. Thanks for weighing in.

But this is classic account ! - so you don't need a password, just the email used:

Steps:
- Do NOT log-out your current account (userid=10521897)
- Go to:
https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_classic_link.php

- Enter your old "classic" email (that was used for userid=371471)

= the 2 accounts will be "merged"
