Oops, accidentally deleted account-file

(moderation:
Little problem here with a WU. I've finished a WU, within the deadline, and it was waiting to report, henceforth the result was uploaded. However, BOINC had not yet connected back to the E@H scheduling server to validate the result and get the WU out of the 'work' queue. Since S@H is down for the moment and I still had some projects from CPDN on my XP-partition, I copied some files across, trying to reclaim those projects in Linux. Ofcourse, I shut down BOINC whilst I was doing that. However, when I tried to re-attach to CPDN (and I had started BOINC up again), I got some pretty stange messages so I thought I'd delete everything but the project files (after shutting BOINC down again). I must've misread a filename at some point because I accidentally deleted the E@H-account file. When I re-started BOINC I got 'Project for statistic file statistics_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml not found - ignoring', so I re-attached the E@H-project, but I fail to un-ignore the statistic and validate the result of the previous WU. I've now got a new one. Anybody have any idea about how to validate the result of the uploaded file (it's the one deadlining August 31st)?

Unless you can resurrect the deleted file, I suspect you are out of luck, sorry

I suppose I forfeited all chances of that when I recreated my E@H account key, because when I start up BOINC now there's no more mention of ignoring a statistic file or any of that, and when I go and look at various files it looks as if all traces of it were deleted upon recreation of the key. On a similar note, the contents of the CPDN-project were also deleted (and replaced by other ofcourse) when I attached that project to this BOINC too, so suspect it's rather impossible to transfer WU's between OS's and such. Oh well, it's not as if I'm doing this for the credits in particular, but it would've been nice if I could've reclaimed those. :-\
