Unlock a Gmail Account
Here's how to unlock your Gmail Account if you don't know your username or password.
- When too many unsuccessful attempts to sign in to a Gmail™ account are made:
- Google may consider the account as being attacked or about to be compromised.
- Users may not be able to send mail using their email client.
- To fix the problem, or if the username or password is forgotten, Google suggests unlocking the CAPTCHA.
- It may take Google from 3-5 days to send user name / password information to a recovery email address.
