Hi @MT-Tester,

That's your chance to regain access to the account. 😉 Use "Connect a computer" feature in settings part of your mobile application. To work, you must have verified your account already! Follow the on screen instructions and you would be able regain access to the account. Once logged in, change your email address (here, click "Edit" next to the current email) to actual one. Now you should be able reset your password. 🙂
Hope this helps.
PS: "Computer" don't have to be a real computer! You can use any device working with supported web browser - including mobile. ✌ For better security, on device which is not your property, use private browsing mode or incognito.
I don't have access to the email associated with a different account, but I also don't know the password. Is there a way for me to get access in order to update my email?
