I'm trying to run boinc on an old 98se comp I have laying around along with the others I have, but for some reason it won't accept my host name and password. I want it to run rosetta at home and connect with my account username "derekpod" but for some reason it won't. First off, what password are they talking about? I've got an account key from rosetta, but never a password. |

The later versions of BOINC want to connect with a username and password. This is causing no end of confusion for those of us that are used to the account keys (which I still use). You are supposed to be able to use the account key as your password with no username in the attach wizard. I have been remiss and have been using the BOINC View attach so I don't have as much experience as I would like anymore with the new system. The other thing to do is to goto the Rosetta@Home and in the your account page create a password for the account and then use that in the wizard. |

The wizard wants your email address not your username. You may need to go to the website and set a password. The authenticator is supposed to work for the password however it is sometimes not initialized properly, setting a password will fix that problem. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |
