Never set a passphrase, old passwords don't work

Hey there,
as I said, I needed to freshly install Win 11 because it just stopped working, now I wanted to get my Synch back in Opera GX, but it said I needed a passphrase - which first I never set, second my old passwords do not work at all and third it's close to 300 passwords. Is there any way I can access them or am I f*d? I can access my old Win11 data, but it doesn't help at all. The only security Opera ever asked was my Windows Login Pin - which doesn't work either.
Needless to say, that if I wipe the data from the server, it is still lost. And I do not want that

Thanks in advance!

@Thanatologe If Sync is asking for a passphrase, you need to provide one to access your synced data. The passphrase is necessary to decrypt the information, that is encrypted before be sent to the server.
