How Do I Deactivate An Old Account That I Don't Have A Password To?

i want to deactivate an account that I don't know the password to. I have tried resetting the password for this account but it doesn't give me the option to put a new phone number or email address so they can send me a verification number.. What steps do I need to take in order to deactivate this account?
