No, once you hit on the regenerate key button all your data that has been saved on sync is gone. Do you have that data somewhere else?

Unfortunately not. I reinstalled windows and all data was saved on sync account. :( Thanks for the reply.

I just found a copy with the key, before resetting. Can that help?

If you've already reset, the deletion has already happened. Sync is NOT a backup service, and shouldn't be used as such.

Did you back up windows before re-installing (like you should)?
