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.

Ask us to restore your account If you own the account, you can request access to it again. Sign in to your Google Account on a browser, like Chrome. Select Start Appeal. Follow the instructions.

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.
