My husband died and did not leave any documentation for several of our accounts. I have tried all the user names and passwords that I have and can not get in. I have tried to send a reset eMail, but do not have access to his eMail account and it does not recognize my eMail. I have been using this eMail address for 10+ years and changing to a new eMail address would be VERY inconvenient. I have death certificates and proof of marriage - How can I get control of the account? Get it put in my name, etc.

If this is with a local business, you can walk into their offices and get help.

If this is with websites, all you can do is to contact their support and explain the situation.

You have our condolences.

This problem is with FireFox - Mozilla and Thunderbird. I use a "firefox bookmark sync" and also sync my fitbit and a health insurance account and maybe other things I am not aware of. Thunderbird is the only email account I have ever used and FireFox is the only browser I have ever used. Right now I am trying to update passwords. But I can't get in. Please help me. My admin is dead and I need FireFox, Mozilla & Thunderbird account(s).

I will try your suggestions and see if any of them work. There was no undo link to the right, which is why it still says solved. Thank you for answering.
