Hi, I just formated my computer and it is impossible to use sync.

I got my key

I'm not really sure of my account (I think my username is Kenjin, or my mail adress is ***@hotmail.fr)

After asking a password email with the username Kenjin, I have nothing in my mails (from many adresses I own)

I don't know what to do :(

for your protection i have removed sensitive information from public display (philipp)

You desperately need to update to Firefox 28, Firefox 5 is so extremely out of date that your brand new computer is going to be hacked the moment you try to browse the web. Please update ASAP (and note you will have to update at least twice, once to Firefox 12, then again to Firefox 28)

Update Firefox to the latest release

Also, update your plugins, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

If this is the state your Firefox is in, I'd also say you need to update windows and other programs on your machine too

Thanks, but the problems seems to persist...

I think my account is Kenjin, but I can't find my password, even when I ask for a mail, nothing is send to none of my adresses.

Can you go to about:support in your URL bar, press the "Copy to Clipboard" and then paste that data here?

Also, have you checked your spam folder?

Can you login to the Sync account here?

more options

Unfortunately, nope.


I just remember my login but I always use the same password so it should be it.

I am now synced under another account.
