So I Had a problem with chrome and before i uninstalled it i synced my bookmarks.

When i re installed and synced i only got a tiny bit of over 500 bookmarks.
Most were empty folders for some reason.

How do i sync them all.

Some key information, ive never used sync but it still wants a passphrase.
If you forget the passphrase and do what they tell you to get a new one you lose your data.
So i cant just do that, is there any way i can sync? i can see the number of bookmarks in my dashboard, but i cant do anything from there.
