    Hey there MoniqueWill - sorry to hear about this. 

    Could you elaborate on the matter for me though? Have you tried logging into that account and it's not letting you? Do you get an error by any chance?

    If you do, could you post a screenshot so that I can have a better understanding? 

    If you don't remember your password, or you need to reset it, you can visit our website here: https://www.dropbox.com/forgot

    Please enter the email address associated with the Dropbox account you're trying to regain access to. You'll then receive an email from no-reply@dropbox.com with the steps to reset your password.

    If you don't receive an email after a reasonable amount of time, please check your spam folder to ensure that no-reply@dropbox.com is not blocked. You can also add no-reply@dropbox.com to your address book and request another password reset email.

    I hope this helps to some extent and please keep me posted on your findings Monique.

      Hey no I have no idea it’s just saying it’s disabled! I know my email & password for it! The email is : [email address removed for security reasons]
      All it says is this account is disabled whenever I try to log in!!!

        Thanks for the quick response Monique - much appreciated.

        I'd really need a screenshot to identify the root cause of the problem here - could you forward me a screengrab of the exact error you get so I can have a better look into this?

        Thanks!
