Re: Can't access account due to old email

Can't access account due to old email

I signed up for a new upgraded account and, in the process, discovered I have an old free account through an old work email.  I entered the email and the correct password, but it sent me a code to some unknown location - probably my old email.  It gave me a series of questions to get around that issue, but it's been years since I accessed the account and I have no idea about most of the answers.  

 

How do I access my old account?

Without access to the old email its very, very unlikely you will get access. And one thing I'd say is if you haven't been on in over 12 months the data on it would have been wiped anyway.
