Unable to access old email

I am trying to get onto my old email account.

I have not used this account in ~15 years but have information for accounts on them that I recently discovered I need access to. 
I do not know the password, and when hitting forgot password and inputting my username/last name it tells me “we don’t have the account details needed to complete your request”. Is there another way to get back onto this account?

Hi @Sammyxo20,  

We completely understand your concern and would like to help. Let's get the assistance you require.

Get recently lost or deleted emails back using the Missing Mail Restore feature. Complete a restore request form, and we’ll do the rest.

Before you ask us to restore your messages, keep in mind:

  • We can only restore emails from the past 7 days.
  • You can’t cancel a restore request.
  • Restoration efforts aren’t always successful.
  • Recovered emails go into the same folders they were in on the restore date you pick. Check your trash folder if you can’t find them after the restoration.
  • You should back up any important emails received or sent in the past 7 days.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Thank you for contacting AT&T Community Forums,

    Tess, AT&T Community Specialist.
