Do you know the email address you used when you originally set up Sync?

Do you know the password for that account?

Do you have the Sync Key / Recovery Key?

You need all three to set up the new device with your current Sync account.

BTW, Sync isn't really intended as a backup media, it is designed to synchronize Firefox data across multiple devices.

I know the password / email but i dont believe i have the other.

Well if that is all its meant for they should not say all your information is backed up securely
