Passwords don't sync

After I set up Windows to my computer, I downloaded and set up Opera and signed in. Yet, I wasn't able to see my bookmarks, passwords. Then I clicked "reset passphrase" because it said my data woudl be remained. Then I managed to sign in with my mail address and all my bookmarks came but no passwords. I'm too afraid, what happened?

@ozanknay When you reset your passphrase, your synced data is reset and you can change the passphrase or disable it. Did you do that?

@leocg No, how can I do that?

@ozanknay In sync settings: opera://settings/syncSetup. Click on Encryption options.

@leocg The first option is selected; do you want me to select the second one (Encrypt all your synced data with your own passphrase)?

@ozanknay No need to.

When you enable passwords syncing, what do you get?

@leocg Nothing. All bookmarks are available but history and passwords are not. There's only one password I can see, and that's auth.opera.com. My synchronized contents are here and it says there's only one password and says encrypted information.

@ozanknay So you enable passwords sync and there is no error message?

@ozanknay Then everything seems fine.

The board on the far right of opera://sync-internals shows that syncing is running fine, including passwords?

@leocg yes, it says there are 2 passwords and all running.

@leocg no, because I have more than 2 passwords, about 100 maybe more.

@ozanknay So in the passwords manager you have more passwords listed?
Or those passwords are in another installation? Password is sync is enabled there?

@leocg no, there's only two passwords listed there. Those passwords were in another installation. Let me tell you from the very beginning:

About a week ago, my computer broke down and I had to give it to the repair. In the mean time, I used another "backup" computer. I set up Opera in that pc and logged into my Opera account and syncronised my datas (all history, bookmarks, passwords etc.). Then my main pc were repaired and I uninstalled the Opera in "backup pc". As I've said my main pc were repaired and another Windows were set up (Windows 10 now, it was 8.1 before). I installed Opera and tried to log into my account. I managed to log in but I was not able to have the passwords. Then I reset my passphrase. Then nothing happened and I started this topic.

@ozanknay As I said, when you reset your passphrase, you also reset your synced data. It means that your data stored on sync servers were removed, that's why there is nothing to be synced.

@leocg Now I think I remember something. When I installed Opera to my repaired pc, I was so fast that I couldn't see the "password" option in the syncronization section. I mean password section were unchecked and "encrypted" was written on it. So, I guess it didn't syncronize my passwords. Keeping that in mind, is there any way for me to get passwords back?

@ozanknay Unless you have another computer with an Opera installation where those passwords are still saved, there isn't.
