Hi TownerLaw, sorry to hear about that!
In your initial message, you mentioned that you were able to submit a request for assistance. Do you happen to have a ticket number reference, so I can locate it on my end?
Also, have you tried this form, from an incognito tab on your browser, while you're signed out of any Dropbox accounts?
Let me know more!

Hi sarah copland, I hope you don’t mind me jumping in and I’m sorry for your loss.
Do you know the email address that was used to set up the Dropbox account in question? If you have direct access to that email address and you’re not sure what the Dropbox password is, you can try to reset it via this link.
If you have any trouble with that though, please let me know.

Hi Nancy
Thank you for your response and apologies for the late reply from me. I have tried to reset the p/w as we have the email address linked to his account but no joy. We have almost given up, if you could offer any further help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! 🙏
