Opera Link don't accept my password
Hi,I have problem with Opera Link.
I want to synchronize my passwords but that is asking something old password. I was trying change my password but that didn't helped. I tried many passwords what I can remember, so what is my situation now? Can I only start on clean?

What it says ... the passwords are encrypted with your login password (at the time, before you changed it) and can't be recovered without knowing the old password. Either enter the correct old password to recover them, or click the second option to forget them and replace them with the ones you currently have on your computer(s).
As I said, it requires your old My Opera password to decrypt your old wand passwords. If you enter your old password, it should decrypt those passwords and then re-encrypt them with your new password.
Otherwise select the radio button that says "Replace the remote passwords with those saved on this computer" and that's what it will do - remove the old passwords that it can't read and replace them with the ones from your current install.

This is something nice. Now when i pressed that "Replace the remote passwords with those saved on this computer" on another computer and okey there is not saved anything passwords, now my passwords is deleted. Fuc.... nice.

Hi!
I've got the same problem here:
I'm using Opera on two machines. On this PC everything works fine. On my second Opera suddenly says that the passwords couldn't be synchronized and I have to enter some old one. I didn't change anything and I don't have a new password. Which is proven since on this PC the synchronizing still works
Every password I enter is rejected.
*5 minutes later*
Now suddenly the error vanished. Without doing anything. I even had the error message window still visible when the link indicator logo went to "everything's ok". I'm glad I first wanted to write this post and so didn't select overwriting the saved passwords. Seems like there's some bug? Maybe caused by connection problems or a server hickup?
*again a few minutes later*
Oh well..seems like the saved passwords on both computers are gone now. All of them as it looks. And as I said, I didn't select overwriting them! I did nothing while it happened.
Why? Why would you write a code deleting everything when an error occurs? Oo
edit: even worse. Seems like new passwords get deleted when synchronizing. So I can't save new ones. An error message occurred saying something like "an unknown error occurred" without details. I guess I'll have to deactivate synchronizing passwords and restore at least a few of them by using own backups
