Bellsouth Email Account

So, I have a Bellsouth.net email account that I made when I was like 12 years old (over a decade ago). I still remember the login username and password! However, when I tried to log in, I receive a notification saying that my password may be compromised and that I need to reset it. I tried doing this, but I was asked to answer security questions. As you can imagine, I have no idea what I wrote or how I wrote (capital letters/all lowercase??) the answers. I used up all my attempts guessing and now I simply get an error that says "we don't have the details needed" to reset the password or something. This is maddening considering I literally have the login. Is there any way to get around the security questions I wrote 13 years ago to reset the password?
