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.

Recovering your Gmail account from your mobile phone

If you use your mobile phone, and your account has been linked with it, you can do otherwise. To do this, you must first go to "Google Account Help", more specifically to "Help Center" and "1. Recover your Google or Gmail account". After clicking, insert your email address and tap “Next”, then you will choose the “Try another method” feature. Google will ask you to use your screen lock code to proceed to verify your identity. By pressing "Continue", you must insert this code. As a result, all you have to do is insert your new password twice. But this time, try to remember it well by writing it down somewhere.

Unfortunately, this is the last possible option if you want to recover your Gmail account. Therefore, if you failed, you are obliged to create a new one and delete the old one. (Read also : " How to delete a Gmail account? ").
