Hi David,

I was just helping someone change his account data at BOINC Wide Teams
when I got curious to see what one should do when he forgot his login
data. So I clicked the "Forgot account info?" link, going to
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/teams/get_passwd.php

Here it says the normal blurb about being able to email yourself a
link, but then it also says that you can use the authenticator key
found in account_boinc.berkeley.edu_teams.xml
That's a file I do not have. I don't even think anyone will have it as
BWT is not a site we go to through BOINC, meaning we never went to the
site to add it to BOINC, meaning we don't have an
account_boinc.berkeley.edu_teams.xml file, thus no authenticator key.

So it's probably wise to remove that bit of the information.
On the other hand, something like that would be useful in the case
where the email address you used to set up the account and team there
is no longer active, and so cannot be used for the 'send link' option.
