Forgot to export my bookmarks and passwords before reinstall my pc.

Forgot to export my bookmarks and passwords before reinstall my pc. Can i find it back in windows.old?

The profiles are stored in the
'''C:\Users\*yourname*\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles''' folder (or '''Documents and Settings''' instead of appdata in XP) not in the Windows folder. Unless you've saved it or want to try some recovery software (if it hasn't been overwritten) then it's gone. Sorry.

  • I forgot my Firefox Sync username and password but have the sync code. Will that allow me to recover my bookmarks? I don't have access to the original computer in sync.

    You need at least the email address that you used to create that account to reset the password.

    I forgot my email settings username and password i called my cell service provider (sprint) they had no clue, What can I do now before I lose 2 email accounts on my phone?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should call back and specifically request Blackberry support.  They should be able to give you your username.  With your username you can retrieve your password via the BIS login page for your carrier.

  • Forgot my oracle 11g username and password

    hi all
    forgot my oracle 11g username and password , how can i recover them although i tried multiple ways as using / as sysdba and it didnot work .

    Please in addition to your own words, post full copy-paste of command line sessions including actual error messages (e.g. cannot access database is not an actual error).
    Try from a command window (cmd), assuming Windows platform:
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    If it says "Connected to idle instance.", try:
    SQL> startup
    Did you just install XE or was it working before and now suddenly it doesn't? (what changed in the latter case?)

    First it would be helpful to get more info. Do you keep your music in the default location inside the iTunes folder? Do you use iTunes to keep it organized? Do you have any type of backup of either the iTunes Library files or your entire Music folder? Before reinstalling anything, check that your actual music files are still there. Go to your_homefolder/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and I am pretty sure that all your files are still there. iTunes keeps its library file on the root level of the iTunes folder. It is either corrupted or you somehow created a new one which subsequently is empty. Hold down the option while you click on iTunes, then choose "existing library" and browse to your iTunes folder and select the iTunes Library file and see what happens. Report back if your iTunes Library file is corrupt.

  • How do I retrieve bookmarks and passwords from a Windows backup, after OS re-install?I have a full Windows backup of my machine, pre re-installl

    I had to reinstall Vista 7 OS. I have a full Windows backup of my machine, prior to the re-installation. How do I retrieve the bookmarks and passwords from the backup? I understand they're stored in various files a ".default" folder in C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles. When I try restoring the folder, the files get skipped... When I try browsing for the individual files, I don't see them!

    Many thanks for your responses... After a little scouting on the web, I have found THE solution... This is all due to the way Windows 7 Backup works, and will NOT let restore apps...
    ("File restore in Windows7 is not designed to restore back applications. This is because the application state is spread across potentially multiple folders, files & registry. Windows7 file backup is not aware of where all the state is spread to be able to restore the entire application accurately as such information is internal to the application. Restoring application partially might corrupt the application and render the application unusable. So we do not allow restoring applications from file backup.
    In case files under C:\Program Files etc. are chosen for restoring, we block restoring files from backup to such locations as it might cause the applications to not function.'')
    What one has to do when restoring is to NOT attempt to restore to the original location, but to select the radio button which allows you to type a path where you want the files restored and type in the path of the original location!!! Then select copy and replace...A little quirky (and tedious), but it works!

  • I need to update to 6.0 but it doesn't work--I've tried several times and it never gets past the stage of "connecting to update server"--so how can I update without uninstalling first and losing all my bookmarks and passwords?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Lion. Every few days Firefox will tell me, "you really need to update to 6.0," and I say, "yes please!" but then it says "connecting to update server" for ages and ages and nothing ever happens. I wouldn't mind uninstalling the old one and downloading a new one, except that I have lots of bookmarks and passwords saved, and I don't want to lose them all. So what's going on, how can I update?

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • I have lost all bookmarks and passwords during the sync process, can i still recover this data?

    My old computer crashed and now trying to sync to new computer the bookmarks and passwords did not work. Can i still recover the data?

    Unfortunately Sync is not a back up system and it will sync the information of the active computers. Because your active browser configuration is blank, it has probably deleted what it was in the server.

    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address and IMEI number - it's an invitation to spam and a security risk  - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
    Are you saying that the phone is locked because the previous owner left his ID on it? If this is the case only he can unlock it, either by giving you the ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (see the page you came here from). If you cannot contact him and get him to do this you will be unable to use the phone.
    Or are you saying that you locked it and have forgotten the ID? In that case please see

  • Why can't I get my old bookmarks and passwords back using the 'Old Firefox Data' folder?

    Hi,
    Ok.....
    I have just recovered my Samsung laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start)
    I have the 'Old Firefox Data' folder on an external hard drive that was created a few weeks ago when I refreshed Firefox
    I've tried this many times but with no luck what so ever:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
    I've re-installed Firefox 3 times
    I've created new profiles and deleted others
    2 Days down and I'm still can't get any of my bookmarks or passwords etc and for some reason when I create a new profile I can't find it as it's not in the location 'Profile Manager' says it is.
    I'm now total lost and getting stressed out as I really need this data.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your reply's.
    I've been able to restore/apply all of my data (bookmarks, passwords etc) on my girl friends computer without any issues at all, therefore it's not something I'm doing wrong.
    I've been so involved with trying to get my profile back on my computer I hadn't noticed that Firefox is not operating as it should, I've found:
    - I'm unable to view/open my profile folder from 'Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder' (when I click 'Show Folder' nothing happens) however when I go to 'C:\Users\AutoStar\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles' I can view the data.
    - I'm unable to save any bookmarks
    - Sometimes when I try to close a tab it will not close as such however once the 'x' is clicked I'm then unable to view the page but the tab still stays visible
    As I said I recovered the laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start) so Firefox was a fresh install I've also uninstalled and re-installed a few times now but the result is always the same.
    Any ideas?

  • I forgot my i cloud id and password now i cnt acces my i phone 4 can anyone plss help me

    hello
    last day i formated my i phone 4 now i want my old apple id and i forgot my old apple id and passward and i want to start it with my new id can u please help me
    thnx in advance

    If it's your icloud password then I don't know what you could do. The Apple ID password resetting system only works for the current one. If you remember the answers to the security question you set for your old, then  it will work. However, if you don't what I suggest you do is delete your current icloud account and start fresh.
    In perspective, a little time ago I had a similar problem with wanting to be able to use icloud but forgetting the password as well. To this day apple hasn't any solution for those of us who use multiple apple Ids.

  • HT5129 i forgot my mobileMe login name and password

    How can I retrieve my mobilMe login name and password ? I forgot them. I guess my login name was an email, but I still don't remember it

    So why is it that if MobleMe is discontinues that I am getting MobileMe error when I try to sync my contacts?  This message comes up that I have 350 contacts that will be deleted.  I don't know how it came to that conclusion but I do not want to delete them.  Click on the ? in the warning box up pops the mobileme signin to continue.  It seems that if MobileMe has been discontinued this type of behavior should also be discontinued.  Maybe that's why people continue to have trouble with trying to access Mobileme... because that is where the Mac system is directing them???   Still haven't solved my sync problem.

    I published the outlook calendar (.ics) on onedrive, which is microsoft's cloud service. Then I tried to subscribe to the calendar on my macbook. After entering the calendar url I get the following error message:
    "There was an error subscribing to the calendar. You do not have permission to access the calendar at https://...."
    Supposedly, I have to enter my onedrive username and password. But the programm does not ask me for it. I just get the error message.
    How can I enter the credentials before the the mac calendar tries to subscribe to the online calendar?
