      I recently had my computer go dead on me, and when going back to Opera, I mistakenly registered a new account! I am trying to get to my older account, so that I may import my old Bookmarks and folders. Can anyone tell me if there is any way of fixing this? ..Can I view old account information anywhere on Opera? Thanks John

        @johnonthecoast Why don't you just login using your old account?

          @leocg I think I used the same user name on the old one as the new and then I couldn't remember the password, so when I changed the password, the new account keeps appearing! LOL I may never be able to find that old account!

            @johnonthecoast You can't create an account with an username already used, as far as I know.

            And what do you mean by 'the new account keeps appearing'?

              Well it seems like it's a completely new account because, I see no sign of my Bookmarks or file folders! I was going to try Importing them, but I can't figure out how you would import from Opera to Opera!

                @johnonthecoast Just copy the content of the old profile directory to the new one. Except for passwords, everything else should work.
