Then the issue is different. You have set up 2 factor security on your account which you do to tell Dropbox to not allow anybody with out that code access to your account. Its unlikely they can revoke that.
When you set up 2FA you are forced (by ticking to confirm you have done so) to download and save codes to allow access in without the phone/device. You need to use them, if you dont have them you are really going to struggle.
