Do you mean the score sharing site or the notation software?
For the .com site, you sign in. Even if you don't remember your password, I think there is a way to change it.
For the software, it's a little different. If your hard drive died and you need to get files off of it, there are surprisingly cheap and easy ways to do that. For the most part.
Just install it. There's no way to get into the dead computer

It almost sounds like the OP is trying to access MuseScore files on the dead computer. This can be done.

If the hard disk is not broken a Live version of Linux (on DVD) can access and copy the files.

You'd still need to take the disk out of the broken computer and connect it to another

Ok. I'll tell my colleagues to delete the files we had saved with the DVD and I'll ask other friends to scrap the pc's that didn't start in any way with Windows.

Huh? A computer that is dead, and not because the disk is broken, won't boot!
A computer that would boot from DVD or Thumb drive is not dead.

Normally a drive "dies" because of some kind of problem with the sectors that control how it operates. So it indeed won't boot any more. But you don't need it to boot to get files off of it. By the way, you could also reformat a drive and still get some files off of it. Anyway, with a hard drive to usb adaptor, you can remove the drive from the "dead" computer and hook it up to a good computer. With 3rd party software, you can access and copy files from the bad drive. This also works for files you might have accidently deleted. As long as not to much time has passed. When you delete a file, the computer doesn't erase it. The simple explanation is that the computer only deletes the tags that it needs to find the file. Eventually the file is written over. But you can find it before that happens.
I have found all this out the hard way.

If it is the drive that died and not the CPU, power spuply, motherboard etc...
And whether recover from such a drive is possible depends on the damage, all hope is lost after a head crash

Unless you remove the disc from the case and put it in another case of the same design. Not for the faint of heart, though.
So far the only crashed disk drive I haven't been able to get files off of is one where the circuit board burned up. But that's another story.

I've seen a few with a head crash too
But even than not all is lost, it just depends on how much money you're prepared to pay to some highly specialized data recovery experts
