Lost sync key on main computer.

I have no other sync account other than my ipod. My main computer crashed and had to be reloaded. I have lost the sync key. Can I use the ipod to get my main computer synced again?

Never mind.  Found it by going through keychain.  Hope this helps someone else!

    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • Lost sync key

    Good Afternoon,
    I have lost my Firefox sync key. I am aware mozilla does not store the key. Can you please delete my email address from the firefox sync server where I can reapply using the same email address.

  • I lost all my Firefox Sync data on my computer, but still have it on my phone. Is there any way to get my sync key off of my phone?

    My Android phone has Firefox installed, and is connected to Sync. Somehow, I lost all of my Firefox data (I think I know how this happened, and I'm going to address that problem with my computer next). Is there any way to pull the sync key off of my phone, since in a house-keeping frenzy I apparently deleted the sync key from my computer?

    No, there is not.
    Sorry.

  • I lost my sync key when my harddrive was wiped, so how do I get a new sync key without deleting my saved data?

    I synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could reupload them if ever my computer got wiped, so I don't have a second device with the sync key on it. I made the mistake of only saving the sync key on the computer. I just got my computer back from the shop and they wiped my operating system without asking. Now I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my sync account requires that I change the sync key and delete all the data saved on the server. How can I get access to my data?

    Sorry, without your Sync Key your data is worthless, it can't be de-crypted, and creating a new Sync Key will wipe it from the Sync server.
    BTW, the Firefox Sync service isn't meant for "backups", it is meant to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices". Any chance you had more than one device setup with that Sync account? If so, you can use the Sync Key from that device.

  • My main computer synced to android fine. I then added my laptop and my main computer synced to the laptop, losing all main computer data - why?

    Surely this sync is the wrong way round, so why/how did that happen?
    I have other lap tops to add, but I want them to sync to my main computer, NOT the other way round!

  • I do not have my sync key for Firefox Sync how do I recover it?

    I am trying to set up Firefox Sync on a new pc and it is asking for my sync key which I do not have. Is there a way to reset or recover it?

    I can't inspect the sync key on the computer where I first installed sync, becaause the hard drive died and I had to install Linux instead of Windows. I was able to save my user data; what folder would it be in? Can I figure it out from recovering a profile?

  • Telling me the sync key is wrong, even though I have changed it twice on my main computer and brought it the other.

    When I go to set up Sync on the second computer it keeps telling me the Sync key is wrong. I have canged it twice on the main computer and let it sync to the server, but when I bring the new key to the other computer it says "wrong Key"

  • I lost my sync key and dont have access to my other computer and dont want to lose data on server by resetting it. How can I get my sync key?

    I have tried words I usually use for passwords and they don't work. If I knew the acceptable format for the sync key, I could try others. But maybe the sync key is the same long number they originally sent me. I am in Chile and my laptop hard drive crashed and I needed to replace it. I can't access my sync key on my desktop in the United states but I want to download my syndc data to my laptop with the new hard drive but I dont have the sync key and I dont want to erase the sync data on the server by resetting the sync key.

    I'm sorry but "you should have written it down" simply isn't a good solution. Having the keys at all is a bad idea in my opinion. The keys should be stored in your account and if you authenticate with a password, it should use that key. If you can't keep your password private or secure, that's your problem. The problem with the keys is, you can't delete your account and "start over" if you so wish. What happens if your machine locks up after you sign up and you have no time to write down your key?
    You can request a new password, but can't be reminded of your key? This is nonsense. I have had no such headaches with XMarks and I'm trying to find a reason to keep using firefox sync with such an obviously user-unfriendly approach. We're humans, not machines.

  • Got Firefox Sync but lost my Key how can i get my data back without delete everything ?

    My computer was deleted, i don't have any others devices ? How can i get back my information.
    Apparently, there is no solution, this is shame. Why in my account i can't get back my key https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ? This service is useless if when we have a problem (all devices stolen for example) we can't get back any information...
    I'm really disappointed, and so are others people as far as i can see. I have to start from the beginning all my bookmarks, so i will use Chrome from now. Thanks a lot Mozilla.

    Sorry, but you're using Sync incorrectly if you don't have any other devices connected to that Sync account.
    Sync wasn't intended to be a "cloud" storage device; it's intended to be used to "synchronize" a user's across multiple devices. Upon completion of the initial setup of Sync procedure, the user is shown the Recovery Key and is told to make a copy of that "key". There are buttons in the dialog window to "save" to disk or to "print" the Recovery Key. Unfortunately, too many users just ignored that message (or ignored it) and put themselves in the same position that you are now in - lost data and no way to recover that data.
    The Sync / Recovery Key is used to encrypt your data as it is being uploaded to the Sync server and then used to decrypt your data when it is downloaded to one of your devices. Without the exact Sync Key that the user's data was encrypted with, the user's data is useless scrambled bunch of 1's and zero's.
    Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync that eliminates the need for the user knowing their Recovery Key. The method that generates that "key" uses the user account name (email address) and the user password, so in the future user's shouldn't find themselves in the same position that you are now in.
    ''IMO, Mozilla provided too much security by having that 3rd security "key" (the Recovery Key), considering how many user's aren't using Sync as it was intended to be used.''

  • My original computer is no longer available, how do I reset my sync key?

    I am no longer able to access the original computer so I can't determine what my sync key is. I need a new sync key with my existing mozilla account.

    It needs to be connected to a network to have a chance of locating it - which could be wifi or 3G (if it's a 3G model). And that also applies to if it is rebooted, it would still need to be connected to a network after it reboots. If the iPad is reset (i.e. wiped) then you won't be able to locate it as your info will have been removed from it. If it is lost in another state then you may still be able to locate it (with the above network proviso), but as to whether you could then get it back would depend upon the police in the other state.

  • I have lost my username and password and can't find my way to the "firefox window" to see if I can retrieve my sync key.

    I have lost my username and password and sync key. I do not understand how to find the "firefox window" described in the "help" page for finding the sync key. I am trying to get my bookmarks downloaded on a new laptop.

    Hi Steve,
    Depends which OS
    version.
    If OSX try this instead...
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Change Password from the Installer menu up at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Change Password.*
    If worse comes to worse try this...

    Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... give the new User a different name than an existing one.

  • I don't have access to my main computer which has the sync account and I want to sync new computers.

    What it says on the tin. The laptop on which I had set up the account was damaged and I currently don't have access to it. The problem with Sync is that because I don't have that computer, I don't have the ability to add new computers to sync, which is what I want to do. I don't want to reset my sync account and delete the data it holds. Need be, I will provide proof that I belong to that account.

    If you didn't backup your sync key then you won't be able to access that sync account.<br />
    The sync key is only stored on the computer(s) that you sync an never on the sync server in a way that you can access it (may be part of the sync data (passwords) though).
