Forgotten your Google password? How to recover your account
Quick answer: Use Google’s official account-recovery process, follow the prompts carefully, and never give a verification code or payment to someone claiming they can recover the account for you.
Use the official recovery process
Go directly to Google Account Help or the recovery page. Avoid recovery links sent by unknown people or services that ask for your password.
Provide information you recognise
Use a familiar device or browser where practical and answer Google’s prompts with information you genuinely know. Repeated random guesses are not useful.
Review security afterwards
Once access is restored, check recovery details and signed-in devices, remove anything unfamiliar and change the password if the account may have been compromised.
Source & methodology
Google controls the recovery flow, so Google Account Help is the relevant primary source.
