Hello Everyone. Can someone help me recover my SETI account. I have my user ID but I do not have my password. I cannot reset my password because I do not recall the email addressed I used to set up my account around 2007. I can find my stats by searching boinc stats. Thanks John

On the basis of the information you have provided a quick search on SETI shows that one of the computers attached to you account last contacted the servers in September of this year https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7636972.
Three possible solutions:
Go onto the SETI Q&A page and ask the question there.
Have a look through the SETI Number Crunching forum, this question comes up fairly often and you may find an answer.
Try and find that physical computer and use that to connect to the servers.

You can plug in your different e-mails (if you still have access to them) until you get a hit. You'll get a message to the effect there's no such e-mail registered if it's the incorrect e-mail.

If you DON'T have access to your old e-mail, then as noted, you may have to check an old system and hopefully the info is still there.
