Windows 10: How to recover Microsoft Edge Passwords

Long story short something happened that causes me and my company to have to go through and renames users windows profiles example dsmith > dsmith.old and delete there profile reg keys in the registry. After creating the new profile one of my users informed me that they saved all their passwords in Edge and are curious if we can restore them. I tried copying all the userdata from the userdata folder under C:\Users\users\A
