Hi Please HELP!

I cannot access my account because my user name is a closed email account. My password is expired but I cannot receive a reset link to the closed account. I had the account open a few days ago on my phone but I got a new phone and had to reinstall all of my apps. I have so many photos that I need to access but I don't know what to do. Please help!

    Without access to the email account there is nothing you can do I'm afraid. 

     

    Go to your old phone and create links to all of your files and then download them before putting them on a new account
