Recover settings
I messed up firefox and uninstalled it. Then I forgot the password and changed it. My other computers still have my settings, but with a different password. Should I change the password back to get all my settings back?
I found the correct password on another computer. The other computer still has all the correct bookmarks and add-ons. I really, really, really can't lose all those settings. I will also need to be adding a table to the same account.

On the computers that still have their data; Do Not Connect to sync. Their data might be deleted.
The best option is this; Shut down the old sync. Then create a new account. Delete Account: Look for Delete Account at the bottom of https://accounts.firefox.com/settings
After, create a new sync using the system/profile that has the data. Wait for a while until the syncing is done before adding any new members.

I can't touch anything until I get instructions.
If you are talking about sync;
Resetting the sync password, or changing its e-mail will remove all data from the servers. The username and password are used to create the encryption.
This is a security feature. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information

Note: Only the data on the servers is cleared. The profile data is not changed or removed.
