  Here are a few things you could try:

  1. Contact your domain registrar: The first step would be to contact the company where you registered your domain (domain registrar). They may have procedures in place to help you regain access to your domain or update your account information. You may need to provide them with some form of identification or proof of ownership.
  2. Check your domain’s security settings: If your domain is set up with security features like two-factor authentication or domain privacy, you may need to disable them in order to regain access. You can usually do this by logging into your domain registrar’s account management system.
  3. Delete your old domain: If you no longer have access to your domain and don’t want to keep it, you can delete it through your domain registrar’s account management system. Be aware that once a domain is deleted, it may take some time for it to become available for registration again.
  4. Seek professional help: If you’re still having trouble accessing your domain or making changes to it, you may want to consider seeking the help of a professional web developer or IT consultant. They may have experience dealing with similar issues and be able to provide you with more specific guidance.

  It’s important to note that deleting a domain can have consequences, such as the loss of any associated website or email accounts. Before taking any action, make sure you understand the potential implications and have a plan in place to address them.
