What is the name of the file that contains the passwords. I replaced my hardrives and restored all the files but lost all my passwords and my sync key. I do have a hard copy of my passwords but it would be easier to just copy the file. I also have a copy of my sync key with a user ID, password and the key number. Is there a site to go to re-active it.

Passwords require 2 files: key3.db and signons.sqlite. Copy those 2 files from your old profile to your new profile.
