This can sometimes be tricky. It depends on your account security settings. Many times accounts are set to not allow new devices/computers to connect without a confirmation code that is sent via a text message. Only problem is, the "Gmail App" doesn't have support for typing in a confirmation code.

If your gmail account uses confirmation, you will need to go into your security settings on your google account and "add a device", then name it. This should come with a simple tutorial to explain how to add your phone as a verified device, and allow access to your g mail.

SOURCE: i just forget my gmail & orkut password bcoz both are same

Gmail sent password-reset instructions to the yahoo.co.in address that is listed as the recovery email for this Google Account. Please wait a few minutes, and then check your yahoo.co.in email account.

Can't find the password-reset message? Check your Spam and Trash folders. If you're still unable to find it, you'll need to answer your security question. To do so, please visit http://mail.google.com and click the I cannot access my account link again in 24 hours. Follow the steps to reset your password.

Note: Please don't attempt to sign in for 24 hours. In order to answer your security question, make sure you don't access this Google Account on any Google sign-in pages, including POP, IMAP, or mobile, for 24 hours.

After 24 hours, you'll be able to reset your password by answering the security question on file for your account.

How do I recover Gmail account?

What options do you have, once you realize that your Gmail account has been hacked? This, of course, is an unfortunate incident and there is nothing much you can do, other than trying to recover it.
Gmail Account Recovery When You Can Still Access

If you can log in to your Gmail account, this at least is a bit of good news. Since you have noticed some unusual behavior, it makes sense to take some adequate protective measures. On that front, you can do the following:

Start by changing the existing password.
Check if there is any change to your recovery options.
Enable security alerts for better safety.

In addition to these, you must also make it a point to inform your friends or family that your account had been hacked. Ask them to stay away from any suspicious emails that are directed from your email address.

My Google play services has been down 4 about 3 weeks now & I can't get into my gmail, Google play services, you tube, Google music, inbox, etc., etc. What do I do???????

Google Email: Can't log in or access anything Google:

Hello. Yes, once you log into your Google Account, you will have access to all things Google. Without that account login you will not be able to access anything Google related except Google Internet Search.

As a temporary fix, so that you have access to Google Services, create a new Google account..
Settings>General>Accounts>Add Account>Google

so, think of another name you can create the new Google account to be.. I would pick your last name first then first name and a number (eg: [email protected])
i would use the same password or a password you can easily remember for the time being so that you don't get mixed up/confused

then use this new Gmail account to temporarily get Google services back. it won't be your original account with all your data, but at least it allows you access NOW to whatever you need it for (like to access Google Play Store so that you can install an application to use on your smartphone)
on a piece of paper or in a notepad app on your phone, write down your new Temporary use Gmail account name and password, so that you don't forget and so you can login again if need to. (We will log out when we try to fix your original account)

when you find time we can try to get back into your old account so that you can access your emails, phone contacts, etc that's stored in your original Gmail account

CreateNewGoogleAcct.mp4
(note: depending on the device used, manufacturer, Android software firmware version#, and cellular service provider.. the settings menu system may look a little different. Keep this in mind when following instructional tutorials of a different device then yours)

Procedure to:
GET BACK INTO YOUR ORIGINAL GMAIL ACCOUNT:

Open your internet browser:
If you forgot your password, you can reset it, go here:
Having trouble signing in
(to reset password, OR to get a hint to remember username)
(if need to, you can use your new alternate temporary Gmail account to have Google contact you)

or, you can use this Google Access Troubleshooting form:
can access my account
(it looks like the image below)

google-play-services-down-4-about-3-kyzl0pi20tqzz121bvlihxv0-3-0.png

** After you reset your password, then Go back to your phone settings:
Settings>General>Accounts>Google..
Click on your original account name (not your new temp account) and enter your new password you reset to for your old account

*** You should be able to get back into your original account.. If YES!

..then we need to remove the temp account, so that we don't get confused and everything is back to normal.

(you can keep this info for your temp account login somewhere in case you need it again if want. or, use it as a dummy email for telemarketers, people who want your contact but you don't want to talk to, etc)

Go back to:
Settings>General>Accounts>Google
tap on your temporary Gmail account name/address

Tap on the 3 dots (upper right corner):
Select "Remove account"

then you are done

Iccan't access my Google orGmail account,I reset my phone and I got a new phone number,can you help me

First you need to use computer to double check if you can access your google or gmail account by logging in. If you can not log in to your google account or gmail account by using computer that means you enter wrong password. This can happen due to your google and gmail account has been hacked by another person who did logged using your password then after they logged in they changed the password and so on ...your profile info has been changed too.

If you can log in to your google or gmail using computer that means the problem is not your google gmail account issue the problem is your phone ( hardware problem) if you did reset your phone how do you reset it ? soft reset or hard reset ? Hard reset is reset and restore to manufacturing setting it would erase all of your personal data and restore your phone back to original setting. If you did this step but still having problem then i recommend you to borrow any smartphone ( from family member or your best friend ) use that phone try to access your google and gmail account. If you use difference phone and you can logged in and access your account then ...no need to say it is your phone having a problem ! Change to use a new sim card to see if problem fix if not ......then i think it about time you need to get another new phone.

Good Luck.
