I know many of us have been through this. Forgot your Google account password? Or, for some reason, you account has been blocked and suspended. And the only thing that remains is the account email address which you can’t use to reset your forgotten password. After all, with almost everything in digital form these days – from bills to important documents like birth certificates or SSS records – it’s easy to see how a lost or compromised Google account could have massive consequences. Whether it’s an accidental oversight or someone else maliciously gaining access to your login information, such incidents are likely quite unnerving. But there are options available if for any reason you find yourself locked out of your online accounts—from Gmail to Blogger and–and you don’t have access to your password.
While Google itself doesn’t offer an option for retrieving a lost or forgotten password, there are third-party options that do. In this post we’ll take a look at how to reset and recover your account using the most popular of such offerings: Google Account Recovery Tool (GART). In addition, I will show you how to reset/change your Google account email address if it’s already been changed by someone else.
