I am currently locked out of my Gmail account, [redacted], which I have been using for years with a mail client program. I recently had to update my password, but the new password was not saved on my computer. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to my recovery phone number or email address, making it impossible to verify my account through the automated system. Despite seeking help from a computer technician, I have been unsuccessful due to Google's strict policies. It is frustrating that Google does not offer a way to contact a real person for technical support. I feel helpless and may need to start over with a new account and linked services. Google's lack of support and rigid procedures have put me in a difficult situation. Sincerely, C

I am experiencing difficulty accessing my work Gmail account after changing my password due to technical issues with my iPhone while assisting my terminally ill father out of town. Despite attempting to reset the password using G ID numbers, the process seems to loop back to requesting another ID. I cannot recall the month and year of creating the account when prompted with a security question and am now locked out. My work email is crucial for my job, and the email addresses provided for contact are either personal or linked to my boss's account. Urgently needing access to my work email to prevent potential consequences, as I may face termination. My alternate email is aprildawncaputo[at]gmail.com, but I am unsure if it's visible for contact. Assistance is greatly appreciated.

Dear Support Team, I am reaching out for assistance as my Gmail account has been disabled. I serve in the Indian Army and unfortunately have forgotten the password to my Gmail account. This is an old account, estimated to be over ten years old, and it is linked to many of my army documents. The mobile number associated with the account has been closed, and I cannot recall the recovery email that was set up. I have also added a profile picture to this Gmail account. While I remember the passwords I've used in the past, I am unable to access this account. Please help me to resolve this issue promptly. Thank you, Rashpal Singh

I, Brett B., can't seem to catch a break. My ex-girlfriend has somehow taken over all of my accounts - email, social media, Apple ID, and even my bank accounts. It's been a never-ending nightmare for a year now. I've tried to secure my Apple ID ([redacted]) by changing the password and recovery email. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of [redacted] due to it causing issues on my iPhone. Being technologically challenged, I've spent a fortune and countless hours trying to deal with this mess. She's way too skilled with technology and has way too much time on her hands compared to me, a hardworking plumber. It would mean the world to me if someone could help me regain control of my accounts and put an end to this chaos. Thank you.

I keep receiving the following messages when trying to access my Google accounts: 1. A prompt asking for the password for "hillfarmjp" in Internet Accounts. 2. A request to enter the password for "[redacted]" in Safari. 3. Upon clicking "Open Safari," it shows a message addressing me as Jonathan and asks for the password for "[redacted]" 4. After entering the password and clicking "Next," I receive an error stating an email address mismatch. It appears that my two Gmail accounts, [redacted] and [redacted], are being mixed up. This issue has only started recently despite having both accounts for years. As a result, I cannot send or receive emails through [redacted] Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

In the autumn of [redacted], I transferred several crucial emails from an old COX email address to my new GMAIL account. I made sure all emails were successfully forwarded before closing the COX account due to family health issues. Recently, I discovered that the earliest forwarded emails are now missing from my GMAIL account. It seems that GMAIL deleted them without prior notice. These emails are vital tax documents and genealogical research that I spent countless hours gathering. I urgently need to retrieve them. Your assistance in recovering these emails is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

For the last 3-4 weeks, I've been receiving suspicious emails from "me, Mail" claiming my emails couldn't be delivered to strange addresses. Despite not opening them, the content has escalated, warning of potential hacking attempts and asking to verify Google information. I fear accidentally opening them or being compromised. I have Norton antivirus for protection. I need to ensure if these emails are genuinely from Gmail. If not, I seek guidance on how to stop these messages. Thank you.

I am contacting you about the account associated with the email: [redacted] A few months back, my Gmail kept prompting me to change the password repeatedly within an hour. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the latest password I set during that time. Consequently, I have been unable to use my email on browsers or the mobile app, except on my computer through Mail where I input the last forgotten password. Despite numerous attempts to verify the account through two-step authentication, it remains unsuccessful. The security questions asked were set many years ago and I cannot remember the answers. I am also unsure of the exact month and year of the account's creation. My email is vital for work, and today it ceased working on Mail on my Mac as well. Your assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best regards, GG

Good Evening, My name is AJ Ellsay and I'm having trouble accessing my original Gmail account, [redacted] This issue started approximately 2 years ago when I was receiving e-transfers from my father, Alan Sr, through my Gmail account while he was in Mexico. I used a friend's phone, Steve, to receive the funds since I didn't have a bank account at that time. Unfortunately, I didn't remove my account from Steve's phone, and he managed to access my Gmail account and possibly changed my password. Due to this, I lost access to my account where I have important information like song lyrics and emails from Gary May related to my music development. Since then, I've created new email accounts like agellsay@gmail and doogernorf@gmail. I'm seeking assistance to recover my original account and I can provide any necessary identification to prove ownership. Thank you for your help. AJ

Hello, my name is Brian Bentz, and I am having trouble accessing my old email account, [redacted] This email is linked to my Facebook, and I need to regain access.

I just want to regain control of my email account from her. Thank you for your assistance.
