I will ask for investigation about this email address on the Plex email server.

Please do nothing in the meantime, particularly **don’t try to login**.  
Or your account will be temporarily blocked for too many failed login attempts.

A question: have you checked your spam folder?  
Those reset emails often end up in the ‘Junk’ folder.
