- Enter the email address or username that you use to sign in to your Google Account.
- Complete the word verification process. Enter the characters that you see onscreen and click Submit.
An email will be sent to the alternate email address you provided when you created your Google Account. Follow the instructions in the email to reset your password.
If you don't have an alternate email address or cannot access the email account you used to create your Google Account, you can reset your Google Account after 24 hours by answering the security question for password recovery.
