Unable To Access Flickr Acct Any Longer

i can not access my flickr acct any longer. I have last accessed it in Jan2013 without problem. This month i have tried to access it, but i keep hitting an error message at login. First, when trying to log in with my email address i get an error message saying:" We're sorry, but there's a problem.Here's what going on:The email address is associated with the existing Flickr account: garance_gee.Here's what to do:1. If you are trying to access your garance_gee Flickr account, please sign in to Flickr again with your garance_gee Yahoo! ID.2. If you are trying to create a new Flickr account for , you need to first remove the email address from your garance_gee Flickr account. (You'll need to sign in to Flickr with your garance_gee to do this.)"The 2 option does not apply to me. The first option is what im trying to do... However, when i try to log in using my garance_gee identifier, i get an other error message saying:"You are logging in from a device we don't recognize. For your account safety, please choose either a listed phone number (carrier charges may apply) or email address below to receive a verification code. By email< />The problem is that i no longer use this email address, and have no access to it. This is a catch 22, i dont see how to access my flickr account any longer.In order to change the email address linked to my flick account to one that i actually use, i have reset my yahoo account's password, alternate email addresses and phone numbers... but Flickr still seems to be linked to this old email address that i no longer have access to. I can not unblock it either by answering the security questions, because i dont remember the answers to the security questions i gave 7 years ago when i created the flickr account (postal code).I have had this flickr account for 7 years, and made good use of it in that time up to jan2013. i have tones of pictures on flickr, and paid for premium account in all these years. Im really disapointed that now i can not access my flickr account any longer. Please advise how to unblock the situation.thank you
