Hi,
I signed up for classic almost 6 years ago, and need to switch to
boinc (I would like to keep my credits earned). The problem is I
can't recall my password. I don't recall if I made the password, or
if I signed up and seti sent me some random password. If it's the
latter I am out of luck. If it's the former I may get lucky and
guess it.

My ordinal email was @home, which changed to @attbi, which now
changed again to @comcast. I'm not on cable anymore so it don't
matter.

Thank you.
Send Dr. David Anderson an email, it is on the Seti Classic page
under personel, near the bottom on the right, and he will reset it
and send you the new one. If he does not, and he has done MANY, it
CANNOT be done, since he is the ONLY one that can.

If you are right you have helped me as well. I have no idea what the
password is for my original SETI account, and there is no way they
can email it to me as (a) the account no longer exists (b) even if it
did, I managed to type it incorrectly :-(

The good news. I too got a password back. The bad news. He reset the email 
account to my old and now defunct one. When I logged in I was told the 
password had expired and they would send a new one to my email address - 
which no longer exists. Gotcha!

Brian

Try another email explaining that BOTH the password AND email are
needed.
