What is the issue you’re encountering

Hi, I have recently joined a company as a software developer and I was asked to looking into the host of our domain. With a bit of digging, I found that the domain is being hosted on Cloudflare. The part I am currently having a problem is, the firm has no idea who created the account and what its password is. Is there a way for me get this account back? Maybe by proving that I am really employed by the company that owns the website?

The domain is not using Cloudflare but seems to be resolving in Cloudflare nameservers so likely you are trying to add it to an account…

The host to which your www record points is using Cloudflare so that’s why you may think you have a Cloudflare account.

If you are getting the zone hold message when trying to add the domain to Cloudflare then it means the domain is, or was previously, in a Cloudflare Enterprise account where the owner locked it to prevent it being added to another account. In this case you either need to contact the owner, or raise a support ticket with Cloudflare who will check with whoever locked the account.
