Sometimes it may appear that the account has been lost, when in fact the problem is simply a forgotten password or other security issue. Check that you are entering the correct password and that your security settings are up to date. If you still cannot access your account, continue to the next step.

Now it's time to verify your identity. Google may require you to confirm your identity through a variety of methods, such as sending a verification code to a previously registered alternate phone number or email address, answering security questions, or providing additional personal information.

Use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Avoid using passwords that have been used before and use different passwords for different accounts.

Depending on the circumstances of your account loss, Google may require additional verification before allowing you to access your account.
