When was the last time you signed in to the account? If the account was idle for more than a year it would have been deleted due to inactivity.

You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

Only Support will be able to answer that, which is why I suggested you open a ticket.
