Once you get it authorised, there is a file on the device you can save for later. Simply copying it back on is supposed to do the authorisation. I'll leave it to someone else to say where the file is. I haven't bothered to authorise mine and I can't remember the name or location. It might be ".adobe-digital-editions/device.xml" or it is the "Digital Editions" directory.

A pleasant surprise though... when I logged into my Kobo account it brought me to the Bookstore page (changed from the old Discover page, which I bet some folks found confusing) and it had a list of 180+ books that they had special offers on. Ended up picking up a "Richard Castle" short story for $0.37, so thanks, Kobo! The special offers page disappeared when I went to my Library (it's apparently meant more for first-timers) but for fun I tried logging out and back in yet again. Back came the special offers.
With the discussion of the conf file recently, I noticed "ShowPromotions=true" in it. Changing that to false might bring the offers back. But, it might only work after an upgrade.
