i had a problem with Sync password, so i changed it to a new one,

That deletes the data on the Sync server. See the screenshot.

Thanks. That makes Sync a totally unreliable component. I will begin to use a better one.

Sync wasn't intended to be used as a backup medium, it's made to synchronize Firefox user data across multiple devices. If you had your data on another device, that data would have been restored to the Sync server after the Password Reset. And then you could have connected the device that got the system restoration.
