There's no such thing as a Bitcoin account.

If you mean an account on a Bitcoin *exchange*, then I'd check your emails and maybe old bank statements from that time to see if you can find which exchange it is, then try and recover your account.

If you mean a Bitcoin *wallet*, and you have completely lost the wallet file and have no backup of its keys, then it is probably gone for good. You can try looking through your old computer backups if you have any; if you used the Bitcoin Core client you're looking for a file called wallet.dat.
