    got a couple questions/problems, and the post i made a few days ago seems to have gone AWOL. Either that or I've gone blind and just can't see it. :-)

    1) Where the heck can I find my Einstein@home account key?

    2) I had a work unit that just wouldn't quit - it got to 100% done and wouldn't send back and/or start on the other WU. What's the deal with that? I finally gave up and decided to detach/reattach E@h from my BOINC, hence needing the missing account key.

    Thanks!

      > 1) Where the heck can I find my Einstein@home account key?

      It must have been sent to you by email and I guess you must already have used it as you can post here. If you lost it, you can take it from the file account_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml in your BOINC directory.

      If you need to detach : Save your account_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml before you detach, then detach, then stop BOINC, copy the saved XML file back and restart BOINC.

      Always good to have a backup copy of those account XMLs somewhere anyway, plus global_prefs.xml

      Not sure about the stuck work unit, have you tried to contact the project (in Windows: right-click the project in the project list and choose "update") - better try that before you detach.

      If you really lost your key, you can still request it again by email : http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/get_passwd.php

        If he's detached, that file will have been deleted. :(

        Be lucky,

          Thanks to both of you for your help!

          Yes, I had tried updating - repeatedly. No luck. I could have sworn I'd kept the original email giving me my account key, but I can't find it anywhere.

          Should I have to detach again, I'll try to remember to keep that file.

          Thanks a million, again!

            If you want to play around a bit you may find the account key in the cookies of your browser.

            When you log out here on the web pages in "Your account", the cookie will be deleted. Trying to access "Your account" again then should lead you to a page where you can have your account key sent again to your email address (if you give the same that it is in our database).

            Regarding the "100% WU" you may look at the thread "WU not finishing". Should be fixed with the new apps.
