My computer had to be factory reset due to a major issue it had and now the password for my opera is completely lost. It isn't saved on my phone or anywhere else, and all of my passwords for college and work were saved on opera. Please, if there's any way I can recover it at all, I need them desperately. I can give ID and proof of who I am, I just need my things back.

@leocg It is Opera GX, and Sync was previously enabled yes. But I don't have my password to enable sync again now that I've reset my pc. I'm desperate at this point, everything I need for college needs my saved passwords

@HopeRope29 So you don't remember your Opera account password?
You can use the Forgot My Password tool to recover it, but you will lose access to your saved passwords since they were encrypted using the old password.

@leocg That's the problem. I can't just lose those passwords. My work and college passwords are in there, and I need those.

@HopeRope29 Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to help you, since your old password is needed to decrypt the synced saved passwords and no one has access to your old password.
