Hacked Gmail

Recover it with your phone number

No not my gmail account. Thank goodness. I know that my contacts get enough crap sent to them so I am glad that it has never happened.

• Contact Google with as many details that allow them to identify you as the account holder as possible
  
• http:// support.google.com/accounts/bin/request.py?&service=mail
  

Yes I have had it hacked. I actually just set up a new account then, and got rid of my old one.

i would recommend reporting the issue to google and recover it with forgot my password option.

How about the contacts on your old one?

So how do you protect your account from hackers?

if you don't recover your password you can contact gmail :

• Contact Google with as many details that allow them to identify you as the account holder as possible
  
• http:// support.google.com/accounts/bin/request.py?&service=mail
  

If you have provided your cell number there, then recover it with that number, otherwise some laws has been settled by the G mail recovery you should pass them.

• Initially, the Google account recovery page is browsed on the internet.
• When the page loads, the user is prompted to enter the email address of the account being retrieved and the Next button is clicked.
• On the next page, the Forgot Password link is clicked because the user does not remember it.
• The recovery process begins with this new page. The user is prompted to enter any last remembered password for the account. If the user does not remember, click Try otherwise.
• The next page will have the option of recovering your Google Account by phone number. The user must enter the phone number associated with the account. Google sends a code in the phone number that is later entered in the specified field. If the user does not have access to the phone, click Try otherwise.
• Finally, there is the option of recovery by email recovery. The user is prompted to enter the alternate email linked to the account. The email will have the verification code that needs to be entered in the blank field on the screen.
• The option to create and confirm the password will be there. Therefore, the password can be recovered.
