Re: Invalid or missing account key

Yes, the account key starts off in your profile.

Fortunately, you can ignore it. All you need for a recent BOINC version is your username and password.

Try adding WCG to BOINC again.

It still says the same thing:

Re: Invalid or missing account key

Something must have gone wrong as the WCG package would retrieve the acocunt key and put it into the account_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml

To recover, open BOINmgr and on the Project tab, select WCG and hit the Detach button on left. After, open the Advanced Menu and take the "attach to project" option. Pick WCG and make sure to select the Existing Member box. That should bring up the member name / password field.

That should retrieve the account key and put it in the right place.
