Wrong shared folder owner, how to change it?

Hello,

I am new in the forum (not to Dropbox 😉 ) and have noticed a strange phenomenon: In my Dropbox [personal information removed per the Community's Guidelines] I have added my father - 99 years old! - as a member, so that he could download a movie made by me. Now he is shown as owner of the box and i am only rw user. Unfortunately I know only one password used by him , and this one does not work for login with his mail address. How can I make me owner - or at least admin - again without killing the whole box?

sincerely

Peter
