The usual way I do mine is to copy the account_einstein file from one that is attached to the newer machine. It will then attach automatically when you restart BOINC. It goes in the BOINC data folder. Where that is depends on what operating system you are using.

You might want to copy the files to some offline storage just in case then, becaue if you know the user name and password is right but not working you may have to do this again some time. You also may want to make sure you are getting your credits on the stats sites just in case.
