Thanks! I tried it and the emails didn't bounce back, which tells me they 
are still active. I don't think Gmail support will help me to reset it 
since they don't seem to have a way to contact them. You would think that 
if I set it up with my personal Gmail, and maybe if they check IP addresses 
or something, they could verify it was me. 

I suppose I'll have to find the passwords somewhere or set up a new 
account. Sad face.
