DB:1643: Login not found & HTTP_BAD_REQUEST

Post by D.Record »

Hello,

Ive been folding for 20+ years, and i recently came back and folded more in 2 days than i had over a few years previously with my geforce 1080 ti hybrid.

However i have run in to a problem, that is really getting up my nose, and really putting me off.

I wanted to change my username, and so i changed my username, and accepted that it would start a fresh.

Did it change, no after 7 WU completed it still had not changed.

So i deleted my account, and then i tried to create the account again for my main email, with the new username i wanted.

The system sent me a email to the new email address with a new generated passkey. I go to the web control, i attempt to a register a new account, i fill in the information like i did for my wife and my self in recent days, i get a HTTP_BAD_REQUEST when the team number box is empty, so i try again and i enter 0 for the team entry box, and i get "Account already Registered".

I try the "Request Folding@home account reset" option, and i get "DB:1643: Login not found"

Basically im stuck, there is nothing i can do myside to resolve it, and my previous email is not working either now, so other than creating a new email for it im stuck.

I thought i might have added some characters like * and # in my password, might messed it up, but im not sure.

Is the server having a problem or under maintenance at the moment?

Many thanks,
Dave

Side note: account in v8 web control is optional.

There is also a bug that changes made to account settings do not immediately appear in clients. This is fixed for 8.5.3 beta. Recommended, especially if you’re on Windows.

As to the login errors, I don’t know. I’ve gotten that myself occasionally. Someone else might chime in.

Your account login email and passphrase have nothing to do with points. Or with passkey.

Hi Calxalot,

I tried your suggestion, uninstalled the v8.4.9 current version, and installed the v8.5.3.Beta from here: https://foldingathome.org/beta/

Re attempted the register account, and it worked first time giving me this message

"Your Folding@home account has been registered.
You have been sent an email verification message. Please follow the link in your email to activate your account."


The verification email, came across straight the way.

It could have been the server needed time, but the beta version seemed too work.

Many thanks fellow folder!

David
