1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Duplicate Accounts/Zombie Account (same e-mail address) (Message 96487) Posted 14 May 2020 by deMeister Post: When the project went https, and BOINC recommended switching over, I somehow wound up creating a second account with my e-mail address. My proper account is ID 2118260, the second "zombie" account is ID 2154952. I can't log into the zombie account, password is lost or not working. I am concerned that if I attempt to reset the password for the zombie account, I will only wind up corrupting the proper account because the e-mail address is the same. Why is this a problem? Why not simply abandon the zombie account? On one of my hosts, the BOINC client insists on attaching to the zombie account, even though I am entering the username/password of the proper account! Is there something I need to clear in BOINC to attach to the proper account? Can I somehow use a User ID# in place of the e-mail address? Am I always going to be screwed because my e-mail address appears twice in Rosetta's database? Don't want to be critical, here, but why does Rosetta even permit duplicate username/e-mail addresses to exist? I assume the User ID is unique, but there's no way to use it, is there?
