Inherit Ownsership of Sync Repo

My old hard drive with my OS recently crashed and is unrecoverable, however my Sync install was on a different drive so my sync program is intact. However, launching on my new OS drive is considered a new device so I no longer have ownership of the repo . I did not set write privileges on any client connected to the network so at the moment no changes can be committed to the repo. Is there anyway I can import my previous device fingerprint to become the owner of the repo again?

I'm not 100% sure what exactly is your configuration and if you had backup the storage of the peer where you reinstalled OS. IF you had, you can restore that storage from backup and use again. But all the paths - including the path to identity folder (.SyncUser#### is storage) shall be exactly the same as before 
If you hadn't, then just add the folder to former Owner and share the new link with others.
