I forgot my opera username for opera link. I don't even remember what email I used for registration.
When i try to open new account I get notification that I will delete all data from device.
What can I do?

First, backup your profile. That way, you can always restore it later. After that ... I'll have to look and see if you can make it forget the fact you have synched before.

How to backup?
I saved bookmarks and speed dials for opera link 2 or 3 years ago, and now I don't remember the username for that opera account. And as I said making new account it will delete all saved data.

Look at About Opera (from the menu), it will tell you where your Profile folder is. In that folder, you'll see files named Bookmarks, favorites.db, etc. along with various .bak or .dbak and .journal files. You definitely want at least Bookmarks and Bookmarks.journal, but you might as well make copies of everything in your profile just to be safe.

I do see a "Reset synchronization" button in the Sync options dialog, but you have to be logged in to see it so that doesn't help. I wonder whether deleting the files in the Sync Data folder would work?
