How do I recover my saved passwords form a crashed hard drive? I can still access the profile folder.

My operating system got corrupted. I re-installed the OS on a new hard drive. My old hard drive is still accessible and I tried to copy my old profile to the new drive, but it didn't recognize the profile as valid.

You need both the signons.sqlite and the key3.db files.
