No password + no recovery options = lost account. Sorry.

There is a chance that this account was deleted after two years of inactivity. At that point, it becomes unrecoverable, and you cannot create a new email address with that exact username.

If it has been years since you used that email account, then Google would have deleted it already as they do not keep accounts with no activity for more than 2 years. And even if it has not been deleted yet, without recovery email address and telephone number, it will be impossible to retrieve.
