Cannot remember my old password

I've just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and now have a shiny new version of Opera. I reset my Opera password to sign in but having seen the sync page showing all my passwords are saved, because they were encrypted its asking for my Old password. Its either that or reset passwords - which I don't want to do. Is there any way of getting around this conundrum?
Failing that can anyone tell me if all the websites that I had passwords for will be listed?

Thank you

@Pushlik42 The passwords were encrypted with your old Opera account password, so the only way to decrypt them is by providing the old account password.

Can you tell me what will happen if I click on Reset Passwords? Will all the websites be listed but without the passwords or will the passwords page just be completely empty?

Thanks

@Pushlik42 They will probably be removed form the server and the new ones will be uploaded encrypted with your new Opera account password.
