Sorry, but when you requested a new Recovery Key your data was deleted from the Sync Server. A warning message should have been sent when you first hit the button to get a different Recovery Key.

You need three things to connect a "new device" to your Sync account to recover your data from the Sync Server.

  1. Username = email address you used when you first setup Sync
  2. Password for that account.
  3. Sync Key / Recovery Key

If you are missing any of those three things, you won't be able to recover your data from the Sync Server.
