I originally created my PTP account through facebook and was assigned one of those gr####@gridrepublic.org e-mail address and random password accounts. I recently used Matt's protocol found half way down the following page:
http://www.gridrepublic.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=197.msg0
to try to link my PTP desktop to my newly created Gridrepublic account. Problem is, I can't access the old facebook login credentials, so I can't pull the credits I had with my old account over to the new one (have 38715 WU completed).
Is there a way to retrieve my old facebook login credentials (knowing my account # and computer ID)? I am pretty sure I need my old facebook credentials so that I can use the old account and simply change the login info to manage the account (so I can add more PCs).
Any help would be appreciated.
i'm a little confused about your current situation and what you are trying to accomplish --
* i assume you have have only one facebook account
* did you have PTP in this FB account, with an auto-generated account; and then you removed PTP and then added it again, using your GR account the second time (instead of the auto-generated account)?
* now you want to go back to the old PTP account (the auto-generated one), and some how merge the credits into your current account?
is that the situation? or am i misunderstanding?
I have only one FB account, I removed PTP then readded it using my GR account credentials. I thought that this would transfer over the work completed on my computer to my new account, then I was going to add a few more computers using my GR account (I thought work completed was associated with the computer, and would transfer if that same PC linked to a new account). Now I realize that I could have edited the autogenerated credentials account. Or, I could have logged into FB from the other computers I wanted to put PTP on.
My problem is simply that I can't add the other PCs to the same account now that the credentials are lost. I just wanted all 3-4 PCs on the same account.
I'll just let the first computer continue to use the old FB (auto generated) account even though I lost the credentials, and have the new PCs run on the new GR account.
you can have all the computers attached to the same account. i'm still not sure i understand your problem, but the below two points should make it possible to "merge".
{1} you can see the email + password currently in use by your PTP account on facebook here:
http://apps.facebook.com/processors/credentials.php
(note that the password shown there is not a "real" password: it will work only to attach a computer to PTP or GR.)
{2} if you have a computer attached to an account other than the account shown in your PTP credentials page, and you want to attach this computer to your PTP account, try the following:
(note that this will result in the computer losing its credit history, and starting over as part of the new account)
let me know if this gets you where you want to be...
