I have just signed up for BAM, and have the following problem.

I have been running three projects on my PC: WCG, Rosetta@home and MalariaControl.Net.

Consequently, I have gone to "Sign-up for projects", and selected those three in the "Find account" column. Oddly, only WCG has been added to my Project List, whereas the other two have "Wrong password" in the "Last attempt" column.

As a coincidence, I have had both Rosetta@home and MalariaControl.net projects set to "Not request new tasks" in the BOINC Manager at the time of registration and attachment. Not sure if this could be the reason, but when I set MalariaControl to receive new tasks, updated it with the server, and tried to attach the project in BAM, it still wouldn't work, giving the same "Wrong password" message.

Since I'm still a big newbie to BAM, please tell me if I need to provide any additional information.

Thanks!

First of all: most of the simple questions are answered in the FAQ.
It's maybe a simple solution: all of your projects of BAM must have the same password. If this is not the case... then the find-function will not work. Go to the projects sites, correct your passwords and try again with BAM.
If password of project and BAM are the same... then there might be a problem with hidden characters or so. Go to the projects site and re-enter the password. Then the next time BAM might find the account right (actually I had this on a project of mine).
If this is all not working... you might have a bigger problem...

Password was the same for all the projects... whereas the e-mail was not. I guess it worked for WCG because it uses authentication based on username, not e-mail.

Duh. I am very sorry, hope this thread serves other people in case they are as inattentive as I was.

Thanks again!
