I just joined collatz in BOINC but forgot to save the password in my password manager so I can't get into the project forums.

Unfortunately I can't get the password reset either.

Error message:

SMTP connect() failed.
Email failed
Can't send email to **********@**********.de

I also can't find any contact email addresses on the project website because the about and help pages are also broken.

Can anyone point me to a way to contact the project? Or tell them to fix their email server?

If you have added it already in BOINC, you can use your account key to log in.
In that case go to your BOINC data directory, open account_boinc.thesonntags.com_collatz.xml with Notepad, copy the 32 character hexadecimal value between <authenticator></authenticator>. Then go to https://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/login_form.php, fill in your email address and for the pasword paste the 32 character hexadecimal key and click Login. Presto. You can now change your password again. And remember that.

Thank you very much for that workaround, with it I changed the password and properly saved it in the password manager.

You're welcome.
Yes, that's a hidden feature, logging in with the account key. :)

If I couldn't add the project, yet, and don't know my password what can I do then?

Just for info: I received an email that the issue is fixed and I now was able to reset my password. Thx.
