In October [redacted], I purchased a Google Pixel 4a mobile from FlipKart with IMEI No. [redacted][redacted]. Unfortunately, the front glass broke shortly after. I reached out via email and received a call to initiate the repair process with Service Note Ref. No. SN[redacted]. After verification and payment, my mobile was repaired and returned to me with Tax Invoice No. INVC030188 dated 04.12.[redacted]. However, the phone has recently started having issues again, such as not supporting some features and the front screen coming loose affecting the touch function. I kindly request for a pickup to repair these issues since there is no service center in my town, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India.

I am facing a challenging situation with my Gmail and Yahoo accounts. They are still linked to an old number I no longer have access to. Despite my efforts, including trying to contact the current owner of the number, I have not been successful. This is troubling as I have important documents for an upcoming court case stored in these accounts. I urgently need to regain access to my accounts to retrieve these documents for my court appearance tomorrow. I have exhausted my options and seek assistance in updating the contact number linked to my accounts. I am a single mother of five boys, and it is crucial for me to have access to this information to ensure I can maintain my responsibilities to my children. My new email is [redacted].

I owned a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip with my Google account [redacted] logged in. Unfortunately, I broke the screen badly, and at the Telstra store, they couldn't repair it, so they upgraded me to a Galaxy S21. Since the screen was damaged, I couldn't backup or reset the device. When I tried signing into my new device with the same email, it asked for a backup code or a security code from the Galaxy Z Flip for two-factor authentication, which is impossible now that the phone is gone. I have a set of backup codes that I printed, but none of them seem to work. I also have a Google Pixelbook, but I can't sign into it properly as the [redacted] account is the owner account on it. I've tried everything on Google's recovery site, but I can't find a solution for not having the old device to get the code. I also have another email, [redacted], linked as a secondary account, but providing it doesn't seem to help with account recovery. I feel stuck and really need to regain access to my account.

Multiple times while using Google Search, I've come across a page prompting me to confirm that I'm not a robot before proceeding to the desired page. They mentioned unusual activity from my network, which I don't have. After running a virus scan after the last incident, my system showed no issues. I've removed Google Chrome from my computer. Although I prefer Google's search engine and have been using Chrome for about 15 years, I won't continue if I have to prove my humanity repeatedly. I believe there might be a technical issue that requires Google's expertise to fix. Please address this matter, and I'll gladly go back to using Google services.

Subject: Assistance Needed to Recover My Email Account Hello Google Help team, I am seeking assistance in recovering my original email account, [redacted] This email address holds sentimental value as it was my first ever account and many of my oldest contacts only have this address. Unfortunately, I am unable to access it even though I believe it was associated with my phone number [redacted] for recovery purposes. I have tried the recovery process multiple times by answering security questions and even received reset codes, but to no avail. Currently, I have set up a new email account, [redacted], where any recovery information can be sent. I kindly request that Google provides access to the security questions or verifies me via my phone number to reset my password and regain access to my original account. Despite following the usual recovery methods, I keep encountering a dead-end with the message "Google cannot verify that this is your account." Your prompt assistance in helping me regain access to my old email account would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bevely

After being incarcerated for over a year, I am facing a challenge with my Google and Microsoft account passwords. I changed them both but forgot the new ones. My Google account is linked to my Samsung Galaxy Note 9, with my Microsoft account serving as a backup. I now have a new phone number but am unable to recover my passwords as one requires a text message to my old number, and the other needs access to the email I can't sign into. I created a temporary Gmail account, but my apps like Google Maps and eBay are still inaccessible. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am experiencing difficulty accessing my Google accounts. The first issue is with my late wife's Gmail account, [redacted] Despite entering the password I remember, it is not accepted. After initiating a password reset and entering the backup email ([redacted]), I received a validation code but then was prompted to provide a cellphone number for further verification, which I do not possess. Thus, I am unable to proceed, and the account remains inaccessible. The second problem is similar, as I attempted to download the Lippy app from the Google Store. Following the same process, I encountered a roadblock at the stage where a cell phone number is required for a verification text. I kindly request assistance in regaining entry to these accounts. Thank you.

My Gmail account was compromised, and the recovery information was altered, making it impossible to regain access through the automated recovery system. Contacting Google's helpline at 1.[redacted] proved unhelpful, as it directed me back to the online recovery process. Any suggestions on how to proceed with resolving this with Google would be appreciated.

I logged into my Dell computer with Windows 7 today to access my Gmail account "[redacted]" after having the computer off for five months. Upon signing in, I was prompted to update my Google account for Gmail. I tried to enter my usual email "[redacted]" but was informed it was unavailable. I then created a new account "[redacted]".

I attempted to access my old account by typing "[redacted]" in the browser, only to be redirected to "[redacted]". I'm struggling to contact Google directly to resolve this issue and regain access to my original Gmail account "[redacted]". Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I encountered an issue while attempting to sell my PUBG account. The account was linked to my personal Gmail for login purposes. After a potential buyer wanted to chat on LINE through a middleman, they demanded my Gmail login details and password to unlink it from the PUBG account. The middleman then changed all the recovery methods on the account, claiming it was necessary, and moments later my devices were factory reset remotely. As a result, I am unable to access my Gmail account due to fraudulent activities by the buyer and middleman. I am seeking assistance to either recover the account or have it permanently disabled to prevent further misuse. The Gmail account in question is [redacted] Looking forward to your prompt response. Thank you.

Hello, I've noticed a duplicate gmail account under "[redacted]" I am the original owner of this email address and have been using it for over a decade. This duplicate account, "[redacted]," has caused issues. Recently, I received an email from paypal about it being added to my account. After contacting paypal and finding out that the verification email was changed to someone else's information, it was apparent that I was not hacked but there was a duplicate email issue. After speaking with paypal support, it was determined that a duplicate account was created on another country's google services linked to my email address. I need assistance in disabling this duplicate email address and resolving this matter. My gmail account is secure, and I updated my password for added protection over the weekend. Thank you for your help. Rick R.

I am unable to access my account because when I tried to reset the password, it sent a code to my Gmail, which I can't access either. This has been going on for about 3 weeks. I've had this account for at least 5 years, and all my devices were set to sync. I need to regain access to my accounts and email. I hope the email provided is still functional. Thank you.

Dear Google Support Team, Around three to four years ago, my mother purchased a phone and set it up using her Google account before vanishing a few months later. My stepfather later passed on the phone to me when my sister upgraded to a new device. I now find myself locked out of the phone, causing frustration with my stepdad. I urgently require access to the phone. The phone number associated with it is [redacted]. I believe unlocking it could be possible with my late mother's Gmail and password. Alternatively, my sister's Gmail credentials might also be of help, although she can't recollect the specifics from three or four years ago. I am unable to be reached via phone presently. The alternatives to reach me are through email at [redacted] (my email) and [redacted] (my dad's email), as well as [redacted] Thank you, Max Kost

I have been struggling to regain access to my old Google account for months now. Unfortunately, due to a hacker breach, I had to start fresh with a new phone and change my phone number, which led me to lose access to my photos of loved ones and important emails. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in recovering my Google photos, old emails, contacts, and other vital data stored in my old account. I am locked out of my account due to two-step verification, and I am unable to receive the verification code on my new phone number or access my recovery email. This situation has been incredibly frustrating for me, and I am desperate to retrieve my valuable information.
