We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: How to recover your Google Account or Gmail
In reply to: MeznoktoZ 's message, "My gmail was hacked and I followed Gmail recovery rules and it did nothing because the hacker changed all my security questions & answers" on 11:33:56 04/29/25 Tue

How to recover your Google Account or Gmail
If you forgot your password or username, or you can’t get verification codes, follow these steps to recover your Google Account. That way, you can use services like Gmail, Photos, and Google Play.

Tips:

Wrong guesses won’t kick you out of the account recovery process. There's no limit to the number of times you can attempt to recover your account.
If you use an account through your work, school, or other group, these steps might not work. Check with your administrator for help.
To recover an account for a child under 13 (or the applicable age in your country) you can reset your child's password.
Forgot your password
Follow the steps to recover your Google Account or Gmail.
You'll be asked some questions to confirm it's your account. Answer the questions as best as you can.

Reset your password when prompted. Choose a strong password that you haven't already used with this account. Learn how to create a strong password.
Forgot the email address you use to sign in
To find your username, follow these steps. You need to know:
A phone number or the recovery email address for the account.
The full name on your account.
Follow the instructions to confirm it’s your account.
You’ll find a list of usernames that match your account.
Someone else is using your account
If you think someone is using your Google Account without your permission, follow the steps to recover a hacked or hijacked Google Account or Gmail.

Can’t sign in for another reason
If you have another problem, get help signing in.

Still can’t sign in
Create a new account

Avoid account & password recovery services
For your security, you can't call Google for help to sign into your account. We don’t work with any service that claims to provide account or password support. Do not give out your passwords or verification codes.
