I have my old sync key, but it keeps saying that it is the wrong one every time I try to setup the sync option...how do I clear out what is currently on there so I can use my old sync key and get my original info back?

When you go to set up Sync - I already have a Sync account, then in the next window use I don't have the device with me

As you type the Sync Key, don't type the hypens between the alpha / numeric characters.
