I went to "Tools", then "set up sync", then "create a new account". I try to type in my email address and it says "already in use". I dont have a sync account. How could it be "in use"

Hi,

This specific link should help you. Just enter your email address and you would receive a message with the information required to reset completely your account so you can start fresh. There's no need to create a new email account. Just make sure that no one is using that account, because any data already stored in the system will be erased.

Let me know if you need any extra information.
