Forgotten password

Locked

Tags: Google

Yes, I have had a senior moment and regrettably have forgotten my Google Gmail password. I have also have tried recalling “every” password, even the last password used for this Gmail email account to recover and/or “reset” my Gmail account. However, the results have been. nada, zilch, zero.
Can anyone out there in the community possibly provide any sound advice
on how I might “recover” or “reset” my Gmail password?
Let me be clear: I CANNOT access my email account to retrieve any access codes sent by Google. I do have a cell phone to receive authentication codes from Google but Google keeps sending the second authentication code (a two-step process) to my email address that I CANNOT access. Go figure!!!!

Just a tip for later.

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/183723?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid tells how to set up a different email or phone as a recovery address to sent it to. But that’s too late now.

And may I suggest you start using a program or service to safely store your passwords. As an example: Lastpass. Don’t forget your master password!
