Old ripple account

[Robbieboy]

Got a family member with an old ripple account who did not do the changeover to Gatehub from Ripple trade, but now with the recent price rise they are suddenly interested again. Is it still possible to access the account and if so how? they still have the secret key thanks.

You do it through Gatehub.

Here is a document from Ripple explaining how to:

ok , thanks for the help, the problem hasn't really been solved. Trouble is, the gatehub migration requires a ripple name and a password. But this account was created before ripple names, but i have the ripple address and secret key and can see it on the ledger, is that enough to recreate the account, and how?

you don't need to migrate, create a new gatehub account if you don't have one and on wallet page just click on "+" at the top of the page, select "Import", enter a wallet name (can be anything) and the secret key.
