      Basically I decided to reinstall my windows because it was time..
      I didn't even think about the browser because i used to log in with my google account anyway as always. After installing Opera GX on a fresh windows i signed in using google. and tried to sync. But i need a password. my google password doesnt work. And if i ever created a password it would be saved in the Opera passwords manager which i cant use without entering the password. Is there anyway to recover the Opera account as i cant find a single "forgot password" link. There wasn't much saved on that account but it would help if i didnt have to set up the whole browser with all bookmarks and reset all passwords to some websites that i saved with opera...

        @Vilhenzo You don;t need a password to use the passwords manager. However, if you want to recover your saved passwords from Sync, you need to provide your Opera account password.

          @Vilhenzo The Forgot Password link can be found in the login page (auth.opera.com) when you access it being logged off.

          You need to provide the password used to encrypt the synced saved passwords, so the new one will only work for passwords saved from that point.
