I'm trying to Sync my account on my new PC and I can't, because the Sync doesn't recognize my Recovery Key ("Wrong Recovery Key"), even if I try a new one. What to do?

If you have generated a new Recovery Key, then unfortunately the account data that you had before is gone (Sync will wipe all data before creating a new key to ensure it stays secure). So unfortunately at this point, unless you have a backup of your data somewhere, it is inacessible.

Can you login to that sync account?
