My work computer got a nasty virus. They pulled the data from it to transfer to a new one and now I am trying to figure out how to get back my settings. I have a sync key, but it is 26 characters long and when I go to "Add a Device' in the Sync Options I don't see where I am supposed to enter that key.

Thanks.
