Folding Forum

I've been running Folding@Home for four years. I recently had to reinstall Windows 10. I then download and install the latest version of Folding@Home.

A lot has changed since I last touched Folding@Home. I had to get a Passkey and then a new account on Folding@Home. My handle is AlanD2 both here and on Folding@Home. I was in 134th place on team 11108 (Maximum PC).

My question: How can I link my new account to my old account?

v7 did not have accounts.
Past points were credited to user, team, passkey.
You can and should continue using your old user, team, passkey (if you had one).

The only information I had saved from earlier years was this: adadadadadadadadadadadadadadad99.

It looks like a bunch of my initials ("ad") put together. It doesn't seem to be useful for anything in the current system.

I am using my old user and team, but adadadadadadadadadadadadadadad99 doesn't work as a passkey.

Folding@Home is running with my new passkey, but it is not connected to my former statistics.

Passkey is not a password, and your adada is definitely not a password, since v7 does not need passwords.

Look thru your old email for the old passkey.
You can regenerate it if you know the username and email used before.

Maybe also look in disk backups for config.xml

Web control only shows user+passkey stats, but you can see all stats for yourself at
https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/id/97008

The Stats on my machine are showing my rank is 37,195, which is the same rank shown in donor/id/97008.

So it looks like I'm good for now - perhaps I just wasn't looking carefully enough at what I was seeing.

Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for your help, calxalot!
