You can contact support at www.dropbox.com/support, but, they'll say the same thing. Replies will take a few days and they arent open weekends.
Dropbox do not have the capability to recover things which it has permanently removed - imagine the legal issues if they did from people who wanted to remove files etc. from servers and were told it was permanent to find out its not?

Super User IIHow do you mean you reset it omar153 ?
If you told Dropbox to do a reset they are permanently deleted and not recoverable: https://help.dropbox.com/installs/dropbox-passwords-faq#How-do-I-reset-my-Dropbox-Passwords-account
Hi,
Yes I did a reset on the iPhone app. However the information was not clear on the app as it is on the link you sent. It said it would delete data on the device and log me out.
As such I thought it would log me out from all devices as I had it in a few places BUT not delete my data.
It was just one click and no clear warning. Ithought with my 12 word seed recovery I could reinstall all passwords.
Is there no hope. Any possibility or chance to contact Dropbox support to ask them to recover it. I read sonewhere they keep data for 30 days and I still have a paid Dropbox plus account.
Thanks for your reply and any help?
Best regards,
Omar

As the website says its permanently removed its not recoverable.
Dropbox keeps files for 30 days, but, not the passwords that have been reset. Unfortunately as you reset it you've lost everything.
- So even with my 12 seed recovery (which it the site accepts). There is no option here for help with Dropbox support?
