Losing access to my Gmail account due to a forgotten password is frustrating enough, but the added hurdle of not having a phone number linked to my account can make the situation even more challenging.
Forgotten Password and Email Address
If you’ve forgotten your Gmail password and no longer have access to the phone number associated with your account, don’t worry. You can still reset your password by following these simple steps:
1. Go to the Gmail login page and click on “Forgot password?”

4. Google will ask you to provide an email address that you can access. Enter it and click on “Next.”
5. Check your email for a password reset link from Google. If you don’t see it, check your spam or junk folder.
6. Click on the password reset link and follow the instructions to create a new password for your Gmail account.
Unauthorized Account Access
1. Visit the Gmail account recovery page.
2. Enter your email address and click “Next.”
3. Click on the “Forgot password?” option.
4. If prompted, enter the last password you remember or click “Try another way.”
5. Choose the option “Verify your identity.”
6. Answer the questions about your account, such as your recovery email or when you created the account.
7. If you don’t remember certain details, click “Try a different question.”

Enhancing Account Security
If you’re having trouble resetting your Gmail password because you don’t have access to your phone number, there are a few steps you can take to enhance your account security. Firstly, go to the Gmail account recovery page and enter your email address. When prompted for your phone number, click on “Try another way” and select the option to answer a security question or use a backup email address. If you don’t remember the answer to your security question or don’t have a backup email, click on “Try another way” again and choose the option to verify your identity using a computer you’ve previously used to sign in to your Gmail account.
If you still can’t reset your password, you can contact Google support for further assistance.
