I was running the Climate Prediction sulfur experiment fine. I decided to also add the Seti experiment. I downloaded BOINC from SETI and tried to install it. SETI said not to use SETI\'s version, but to go to my Linux distribution and download their version of BOIC. So I went to UBUNTU and downloaded SETI from them. Now I can not attach my computer to BOINC. BOINC keeps saying my password is incorrect. I tried for a day to figure this out. Can anyone tell me how to reset my password and attasch my computeer to BOINC?

Hi,
First you can use the Berkeley\'s Boinc version on any Linux Distro, AFAIK

What do you mean by \"attach your computer to Boinc\": Boinc is not a project.

Hypothesis: You can\'t open the BoincManager to attach to a project because the manager keeps asking you the password.
If it\'s the case, the password is in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in the BOINC folder.
As I don\'t know where is the BOINC folder on Ubuntu, you\'ll have to look for it yourself with the following command:

In command-line try:
locate gui_rpc_auth.cfg
or
locate BOINC

If locate isn\'t installed on your machine try
find / -iname \"boinc\" -type f -print
or
find / -iname \"gui_rpc_auth.cfg\" -type f -print

You can also look in the /var/lib/ folder: perhaps you\'ll see a ~/boinc-client folder in it

If you\'re talking about the project password, you can retreive it by email via that page: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/get_passwd.php
Log in your account with the account key, go in your account and modify the password.
