LHC@home

Years ago I participated in atlasathome, so I used the same email address and changed my password at LHC@Home, but BOINC won't accept that combination either as a new user or an existing user. I downloaded BOINC along with VirtualBox. VirtualBox installed first, then it went right into installing BOINC. I set up VirtualBox but it won't accept the password I provided during setup, either. Both VirtualBox and BOINC, inside VirtualBox, are running. I don't know what to do.

You may have used an old project URL.
The recent URL is:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/

.... I don't know what to do.

You don't have to setup anything in VirtualBox yourself. It's done by BOINC.
Have a look into your project preferences and select at least the Theory application to start with.

This is the link I received from LHC@home administrator:

I guess you're right. When I power on just BOINC in the VM the information in the right pane is in some ways different than that I set up using an Ubuntu Linix .iso.

I just did that, but I still have to solve the original problem.

Problem solved! I was using a masked email address. Apparently it worked in 2010, but not anymore. I entered my real email address, and it worked.

Thanks everybody!
