I am trying to get the sync password off my laptop but every time I try to sign in, it says "Attempt Limit Exceeded". Ridiculous!

"... trying to get the sync password off my laptop ..."

What do you mean by that? You're trying to view your Sync Password? If so, open Tools > Options -> Security --> Saved Passwords button >> Show Passwords = chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)

Try to wait a few hours before doing a new attempt.
