Disconnect Video doorbell cam from account

I had a video doorbell cam installed (just the camera, no base station) and was working properly till recently when my simplisafe online account was disconnected. I no longer have access to the email account I used to connect the camera ad login to view notifications. When I try to login now, it's sending a verification email to that account which was deleted by my service provider.
Is there anyway to disconnect the doorbell from that dead email account which I can't access?
Can I disconnect the camera from the account by any means? I tried the reset and factory reset but none worked..

Thanks

Hi @gsoccar_9X2VYJ,

If you reset the Video Doorbell Pro using the reset button on the back while it was connected to your WiFi network, it should now be removed from that account. Once removed from a SimpliSafe.com account, it can be installed to any new SimpliSafe account by going through the same setup process in the SimpliSafe app that was used when you first installed it. If you continue to have problems getting your Video Doorbell Pro installed on your new account, contact our Support Team here.

Do the same as the remainder of the posts suggest, if it is actually the same issue.

Thanks - I did perform a soft reset (using the small button in the back for 10 seconds) and also a hard reset (using the larger button in the back for 10 seconds), in both cases the video doorbell restarted and connected back to the old account (blue solid light). So, this clearly doesn't work.
Any other suggestions?

It sounds like the hard reset didn't work properly. Try holding the larger button on the rear of the Video Doorbell Pro for a longer period of time (up to a minute). After about a minute, the doorbell should reset, first showing a solid yellow light while it boots up and then going to a blinking white light indicating that it is ready for setup. If this doesn't work then the Video Doorbell Pro may not have enough power in its internal battery while going through the reset process. Make sure that the Video Doorbell Pro has been receiving power on its bracket for at least 10 minutes prior to trying this to ensure that the battery has enough power.
