Firefox sync: Cannot access my account on a different computer

I upgraded my work laptop. For security reasons, I uninstalled FF on old laptop. Now, while setting up FF Sync on new laptop, it asked me for account information.
As I setup account months ago, I don't remember anything. I tried resetting my password, but the Username/Password comobo is not matching. I tried looking for an option to have my Username sent to registered email address, but that does not seem to be an option (wierd?).
I am stuck. Is there a way out of this sanctum ?
Thanks for any lead.

The information that you really need is the '''Sync Key''', which isn't stored by Mozilla, for your security. The only place the Sync Key resides is on the PC's that are set up for the Firefox Sync service, and maybe where you keep track of your passwords off your PC's. You might be able to access your Sync storage space if would remember your username / email address that was used to setup your account and you password, '''but''' without your Sync Key your data on the Sync server is useless. The Sync Key is the "key" for encryption to the server and back to your PC's.

  • Firefox Sync - Cannot create an account

    I have tried creating a Firefox Sync account but whenever I press the big blue Get Started button, I get a blank window with an empty white box inside. Nothing happens.
    Firefox 32.0.03

    Any ideas?
    Thank you!

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • I recently changed my Apple ID.   When I try to change my iCloud account on my Mac. I cannot access the account. I've changed the password once already. Any suggestions? My iPhone's account is fine.

    I recently changed my Apple ID.   When I try to make changes to my iCloud account on my Mac., I cannot access the account via System Preferences. I've changed the password once already.   My iPhone's iCloud account is fine. At this point my iCloud account no longer is working with my Mac. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    I finally figured out the answer to my own question. I created a new iCloud account on my Mac. Problem solved!

  • I cannot access my account?

    i cannot access my account? I entered my password, and was told it was invalid. I then proceeded to the forgotten password link, entered my email and was told to enter the email associated to my account, which is the one I entered and kept getting the same thing. So I tried to sign-up and was told the email I'm using was already associated to an account. I know what my password is, it's the same with all my online accounts. I am unable to reset my password and am quite frustrated..

  • HT1918 I updated my account on the computer and now cannot access my account on my iphone

    I updated my account on the computer and now cannot access my account on my iphone

    Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

  • I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everythi

    I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • How to install or access my adobe cloud account on a different computer

    I am trying to access or install my creative cloud account on a different computer that is a mac, I have logged into my account but do not see
    my applications I am renting on the mac.

    Hello Jazzjh
    I would make sure that you computer can communicate with the Adobe servers. Go thru the steps in this help doc & check the hosts file
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
    Then I would suggest to go thru the steps in this help page and remove the OPM.db file.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-application-recognizing-available. html
    Then you can just sign in to the Creative Cloud app manager to activate the software
    Let me know if you still have any issues.
    Thanks

  • HT1203 How can I access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment

    Hello
    I need to access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment.
    Am I already now logged in to Apple ??
    Thanks

    If the Computor you are on has iTunes library go to tunes as if u were going to buy a song or film and you can log into your account. At the bottom of the iTunes home page you should see the user that is logged on usually a email address. Click on it to log them out and enter your own apple I'd and password. You can then update whatever you want and log back out after

  • My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen goes out and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. Any suggestions?

    My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem.  Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely.  Push until they click in place.  It solved the problem.  The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep.  Hope this helps.
