On your computer, go to Gmail. Enter your Google Account email or phone number and password. If information is already filled in and you have to sign in to a different account, click Use another account. If you get a page that describes Gmail instead of the sign-in page, at the top right of the page, click Sign in.

Type in your username and password. Once you've opened the web address of your email provider, you will see a login page. Enter your email account's credentials (username and password) in the text fields provided. If you forgot your password, you can usually click the "Forgot Password?" link to reset it.

To get started, head to g.co/recover and enter your Gmail address. If possible, try the following to make recovery easier: Use a computer, phone, or tablet you've previously used to sign into your account. Use the same browser that you usually do, like Chrome or Safari.
