Standard recovery of your account in case of forgotten password.

It is important to note from the start that this method very much needs you to remember either your last password or your secondary address. The latter is another address that you entered during your registration in order to facilitate recovery. To do this, you only have to do the following:

  • First you need to access gmail
  • Then act as if you are going to connect, but without inserting the password. Instead, you will click on the “forgot password” link.
  • When the new window opens, Google will ask you to enter a password that you remember. And this even if it is an old password. The most important thing is that the code must be correct. In case nothing comes back to you, you can click on the option “Try another question”.
  • In this case, you must enter your secondary e-mail address in order to receive an e-mail for the reset of your password.
  • When you open your second email address, you will find a six-digit code in your mailbox. This will allow you to set up a new password for your account.

Unfortunately, this is the last option available if you want to recover your Gmail account. As a result, if you're unsuccessful, you'll have to create a new one and delete the old one.
