As stated above my hard drive died and i have no access to get the sync key/recovery key,

I do however have access to the user and pass, is there a way to recover my data(passwords, bookmarks etc) as i would truly hate to start afresh,

thanks in advance Owen P

If you didn't write down or otherwise save your sync key, then no, there is no way to get that back unfortunately
