Restore Google Mail. A special form for restoring access. There are other problems when logging in

How to recover your Google account if you forgot your password? The lion's share of Internet users inadvertently had to forget passwords for profiles registered on various sites. The list of these sites most often includes email. We will help you figure out how to restore access to your account of one of the most popular email services - Gmail.com.

Google takes responsibility for the security of their database accounts, so problems may arise with restoring your mailbox if you do not know basic and some additional information about your profile.
To begin the account recovery procedure, go to gmail.com, where you will be asked to log into your profile in a special window. Enter your email address in the appropriate line, and click “Next”:

Google encourages you to enter information that is as close to real as possible to identify you as the owner of your mailbox. To do this you will need to answer several questions. They will be in random order and may not be the same in sequence as mine. Therefore, let's consider my option as an example of recovery.

The first of them requires entering the password that you consider correct, at least presumably. This is necessary so that moderators can compare the entered password with the real one:

If you do not want to enter the expected password, click “Another question” and answer the next question. If you have an attached phone number, the procedure becomes much simpler.

After entering the correct number, you will receive a security code with which you can easily restore your mailbox. If this step is not possible, we move on to the third question, which asks for an answer to the security question. The answer to this question is filled in when registering with Google. Examples of questions: “Mother’s maiden name?”, “Name of your first pet?”, and so on.

The service will not allow you to give up so easily if you were unable to answer these three questions, having forgotten all the data about your mailbox. The next, simpler question comes, requiring the owner to write the additional account specified during registration. If it is written correctly, a letter with an activation code will be sent to your existing mailbox, which you can enter in the window and successfully complete the recovery:

If for any reason you were unable to answer any of the questions provided, the Gmail service will be forced to refuse to restore access to your mailbox, not considering you as its owner. You will receive the following notification on your screen:

I highly recommend that you always have access to a verified phone number that is listed in your Gmail account contact information. This will always allow you to quickly and easily restore your profile. If you don’t have this option, save backup codes that will allow you to log in without having your phone at hand.

Always be attentive and careful. Don’t be lazy to devote a few minutes to security once, and save a day of time and nerves by saving on restoring lost access.

Gmail is an email service that allows its users to receive emails, chat and make video calls. All services provided are free and can be used by anyone who has created a personal Google account.

And if for some reason the user decides to change or restore the password or the mailbox itself after deletion, this can be done by following the steps in the proposed step-by-step instructions.

Changing your Gmail password

In order to change your email code you should do the following:

1) Log in to your account.

5) Then a dialog box will appear on the display asking you to “Change password”.

6) Here you need to enter the combination you came up with and confirm it (it is advisable to set a complex password - ).

7) Click on the blue “Change Password” button.

After these steps, you will be able to enter your personal account only by specifying a new code.

How to restore access if you forgot your password?

Many people, when creating a new password, use combinations of numbers and letters that are easy to mix up or forget. What if you need to log into your account, but you don’t remember the code? In order to restore it, just follow the steps below:

It would also be a good idea to set up your email at your own discretion.

Is it possible to recover a deleted mailbox?

What if the mailbox was deleted and you need to resume its operation? Can I do this myself or do I need to create a new account? Google has developed a security system that makes it possible to recover a deleted e-mail for some time. To do this you should:

1) Select the “Need help?” column when, when authorizing your Gmail account, an error appears indicating that the address or password is incorrect.

2) Check the box next to “Other problems occur when logging in.”

Thus, Gmail allows you to change and restore not only your account password, but also return to using deleted mail.

Following the step-by-step instructions, absolutely any user who has and previously owned an account on Gmail.com can perform these actions.

If you are having trouble logging into your account, please follow the instructions below.

  1. Go to the access recovery page.
  2. Try to follow as many of the recommendations in this article as possible. Please note that you may not be asked all the questions we cover.

If you've already tried to regain access to your account and received the message "We couldn't verify that this account belongs to you," try again.

Answer as many questions as possible

Try not to skip questions. If you are not sure of the answer, try to guess.

Use the location and device where you usually sign in to your account.

If it is possible:

  • use a computer, phone or tablet from which you often log into your account;
  • use the browser (such as Chrome or Safari) that you usually use to sign in to your account;
  • Are you in the location where you usually sign in to your account (for example, at home or at work).

Be careful when answering questions

Little things matter. Avoid typos when entering your password and answer to your security question. Pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.

Passwords

If the system asks you to enter your latest password, enter the newest one that you remember.

  • If you don't remember your last password, indicate the previous one. The newer the option, the better.
  • If you can't remember any previous password, try to guess it.

Answers to security questions

If you are asked a security question, do the following:

  • If you don't remember the answer, try to guess it.
  • If you know the answer, but the system does not accept it, try writing it differently. For example, "Peter", not "St. Petersburg".

Find out when you created your account

If you don't remember the month and year you created your Google Account, here are a few ways to find out:

  • Try to find the account registration email. If you have access to your account email, try searching for a welcome email from Google or Gmail. If it is not there, try to find the letter in the account you used before.
  • Ask your friends. If you use Gmail, ask friends or family when they first received an email from your account.
  • Think about related events or purchases. Perhaps the creation of your account happened at the same time as something important in your life:
    • With a significant event, such as graduation from university.
    • With the purchase of a new device. Try to find receipts or checks.

If you can't find out the date, try guessing it.

Log in to the email service associated with your account

If you're asked for an email address that you have access to, enter the email address you added to your account. Here are some examples:

  • A backup email address that helps you regain access to your account. We send security alerts to it.
  • An additional email address that can be used to sign in.
  • Contact email address where you receive information about most Google services.

Recovery options

You can return access to your Google mailbox using:

  • backup email account;
  • verified mobile phone;
  • special recovery algorithm (answers to questions).

These methods are simple and effective if you understand how they work. Next we will look at each of them more carefully.

For those who are prepared in advance

If a mobile phone number or an additional e-mail was previously attached to your mailbox, then the recovery process is simplified many times. The first thing you need to do is go to the official website gmail.com. Then click “Login” and under the input form click “Need help?”

A page will open in front of you where you can select the problem that worries you: a forgotten password or username. If you intend to change your password, then you will be asked to enter your personal google mail address and some other information that you may remember or have written down earlier.

Then, if a mobile number is attached to your account, you will have two options: an SMS message or a phone call with a verification code. These options are not feasible for those who have lost access to their mobile phone or did not bind in advance.

The next page that should open in front of you contains an offer to restore access through a backup email address. If you have access to it, click “continue”. If not, select the “answer a few questions” option below and fill out the questionnaire that opens.

Special form for restoring access

Once you've communicated that you can't regain access through your cellular or backup address, you'll be presented with another option. It will allow you to restore gmail without this data. This is where a special form comes to the rescue.

There you will need to indicate your personal email and some additional information. Among them: the date of the last visit to the mail (can be approximate), the date of creation of the mail (can also be approximate). Then you will need to answer a special question, which is set by users personally, just like the answer to the question.

You can specify up to 5 addresses with which you contacted most often via mail, as well as Google services linked to mail. To speed up the process, you need to indicate the approximate start dates for using them. In order for this method to be effective, try to take the answers as seriously and correctly as possible.

This method is inconvenient because the process as a whole takes an indefinite amount of time. Upon completion of the verification, you will be contacted using the email address you entered. If you enter any data incorrectly, you will be asked to fill out the form again. It is best to check the data several times the first time before sending it, correct any inaccuracies, thus avoiding difficulties in the future.

When access is restored and you have some free time, you can think about your professional and financial prospects. Do you know how in demand are people who run social groups and generally work online? There are many activities that people use to earn extra money or work full-time online. There is a quite useful project where they can teach certain areas of activity. With him you can read here.
