Thank you for the response drgeoff. I seem to have more question and no good answers yet.
1) Is there a such a thing to use the obi info to lookup what account it is associated with?
2) Is it safe to 'ADD' a device again? Would that even work if it is already associated with an existing account?
3) When I initially created my account, I used the google sign in process; so I never created a password. Today when I log in and go over the the forum, my credentials are no longer recognized and the 'forum' thinks I did not log in yet. I can not seem to be able to log in and have that carry over to the forum, this is why I created a new account, and posting from it now.
