There will be a 32 character hexadecimal "password" in it. Take it out and save the file. Start Boinc Manager. When given the error, click No or Cancel. Go to File->Select computer. Fill in localhost for computer. Leave the password blank. Hit OK. ID: 3940 ·

Fill in localhost for computer. Leave the password blank. Hit OK. tried that when i first had problems...even put localhost in remote_hosts.cfg file... when you remove password from gui_rpc_auth.cfg you also required pressing crt/return key to represent no password.. this is what i'm getting in the error list... connect: Operation now in progress Nonce not found connect: Operation now in progress Nonce not found ID: 3953 ·
