Yes, Dropbox doesn't know about the email's status on your end, so you could recreate the email, reset the Dropbox password for that account, login, and re-upgrade to whatever plan you have previously.
Once you're certain that the team is back to normal, you can assign a new member to be the team admin, check they can login and access the admin console, and even delete the old team admin since they're no longer a part of the team.
Depending on your team size, we recommend having two team admins to prevent situations like this from occurring again.
HI thanks for you reply. It is a part of a private domain. I could recreate it. Would that allow me to do a password recovery and access?

Hi papi chulo, thanks for posting here.
Can you please send more details on what has happened exactly? Do you mean that someone else has gained access to your Dropbox account or have you accidentally joined another Business team?
Hi Jay,
I have a different but equally urgent problem.
From today I was disconnected from the business account I was part of with my team because our Dropbox contract ended.The message that appeared on my computer said that the files were not deleted.How can I access my files? I need only 1 hour to control and recover some important work files.can you help me? Thank you.I'm in contact with the administrator but he can't answer me now.
