Forgotten password from Google account: How to restore it

If your Google account only consists of a Gmail address and you have not provided an alternative contact option, you may have to wait 24 hours before you can reset your password.

1. Open the following link to reset your password.
2. Enter your email address here, which is linked to the Google account. Alternatively, you can also enter your cell phone number.
3. Google then uses various methods to verify your identity. As a rule, an attempt is made to send a code to you by email, SMS or call.
4. If your Google account is only linked to a Gmail address, you have to answer a security question or confirm further information about yourself.
5. However, if your account is registered with an email address that is independent of Google, or if you have left an alternative email address in your account, Google will now send you a message to this address. A link to reset your password is included in the mail.
6. Once you have confirmed your identity, you can create a new password for your Google account.
