Resetting the password is a mistake because this causes all data on the Sync server to be deleted. This is because this password is used to encrypt your personal data locally with a sync key derived from this password before it is uploaded to the Sync server and only the original password or a recovery key can decrypt this data.

You can look for a possible C:\Windows.old folder that Windows might have been created. Otherwise I'm afraid that without a backup your bookmarks are lost.
