I had the exact same problem yesterday.
About 4-5 of my instances of NTPrime checked in yesterday, but only one of
those did this, so there must have been a certain time window where this
happened.
I was able to fix it a little easier by running NTSetup on the affected
instance and setting my userid/password back which resulted in the program
telling Primenet to switch back/rename the user again. It credited the
result for that LL test back to my real account and removed it from the new
one it created.
At first I thought somebody else had modified my prime.ini file, but now
that I see someone else had a problem, I guess it wasn't on my end after
all.
However, I didn't check to see if it unassigned any exponents and assigned
new ones...I'll have to look into that some more.
