Can't log out of old account during reinstall of Adobe

I needed to reinstall creative suite, but having uninstalled every program it won't let me sign in to my new account. I didn't active my old email address, which no longer exists, and now I'm stuck in a loop where I can't sign in to my new account before even installing creative cloud. Any help?

Thanks for the advice, but I can't even complete the first step here.

When I open up the installer, it just tells me my old email account has not been verified and I have 0 options to change it.
