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 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.
