Hi Andrew1983,
Without know your email you can't change anything - the email is your user id! If you have a device connected to the account still, you can check there for the exact email. If you haven't access to the used email, that's a big issue; regular password reset becomes impossible. If your mobile device is connected to the account still, there is workaround. On your mobile device is a feature "Connect a computer" (in Dropbox settings section). Use this feature to gain access back to your account and change email to an actual one (which you have access to). After that you can reset the password in the trivial way. :wink:
Good luck.
