A few years ago, my father passed away, and now I turned on his computer, I discovered he was using Dropbox. I inherited his account information and password book, and when I tried entering the credentials, it showed that the password has expired.
However, I am unable to reset the password as I no longer have access to the email address or phone number he used at the time.
I wish to see what my father left behind. Is there any way I can fulfill that wish?
I would greatly appreciate your help.- Rich

Is there any way I can fulfill that wish?Without access to the email address or possibly his phone (if he used two-step verification), it wouldn't be possible to gain access to the account through the normal methods.
However, since this is the account of a family member that has passed, there may be another method available to you. Refer to the following help article for more information:
