Re: My main folding account seems to have been deleted
No I just can't get into anything for that account as far as I know now after seeing results are actually being recorded everything is working except for the password reset for that account.
Re: My main folding account seems to have been deleted
Where/what are you doing when you try to reset the password?

Re: My main folding account seems to have been deleted
go to ucp.php?mode=sendpassword
type in username DrewWeeks_ALL_18Ley5QcWG7GhwG3K6H4ZXzaqsbYqABpJA
email REDACTED
click submit
Then I get the error "The e-mail/username information submitted could not be found."
Edit 1: Good news my stats page is updating =)

Re: My main folding account seems to have been deleted
You seem to be confused about passkeys, passwords, and the different account and usernames.
An admin has already confirmed that 'DrewWeeks_ALL_18Ley5QcWG7GhwG3K6H4ZXzaqsbYqABpJA' is not a recognised username here on foldingforum.org
Attempting to reset the password will not work for that reason.
'DrewWeeks_ALL_18Ley5QcWG7GhwG3K6H4ZXzaqsbYqABpJA' is your entirely unrelated username that you use in the folding@home client. That application does not use passwords.
You have a passkey that is tied to that name and the email address you used to generate it and is used for the Quick Return Bonus, nothing else.

And to emphasise; the passkey is not a password or a security key in the normal sense. It's more like a calculated hash value which is used to identify you from all the other folders.

Okay thank you so much for the clarification I was misunderstanding, then how would I go about recovering a forgotten username?rwh202 wrote:You seem to be confused about passkeys, passwords, and the different account and usernames.
