Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What is/are the exact error message(s) ?


What account are you talking about?

Sync?

Resetting the sync password, or changing its e-mail will remove all data from the servers. The username and password are used to create the encryption.

This is a security feature. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information
