Help! Passport Email ID Issue - Can't Apply for PCC Certificate

Hey fellow Redditors, I'm reaching out in desperation, hoping someone can offer some guidance. I recently applied for a passport and received it within a few days. However, I'm now facing an issue that's causing me significant stress. I had created an email ID for my passport application at a cyber cafe, and the guy who helped me used his phone number to verify the account. Fast forward to now, neither of us remembers the email ID, and it's not connected to my phone number. Here's the problem: I need to apply for a PCC (Police Clearance Certificate) and the application requires the same email ID used for my passport. I've tried to retrieve the email ID, but to no avail. Has anyone else faced a similar issue? Any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a tight deadline to apply for my PCC, and this email ID issue is holding me back.
