Hi,

... Topic = Problem

what password is whished, if I want log on \'localhost\' with BOINC-Manager?
My Win-Account (WinXP home) hasn\'t a password (I know, thats not realy clever, but it is WinXP home-standard).

the first login after the update to 5.2.2 was working, but the try a day after (today) doesn\'t.


what should I do, except of using win-password?


greets, micha

It\'s a new feature with BOINC 5.2.x

Look in your main BOINC folder and you will find a text file called gui_rpc_auth.cfg. The contents of this file is a randomly generated string which you use for the password on that machine.

You can change it to any string you like including, I think, a blank line.
