Go to the Google site and fill out the sign-in form using your user ID.

When you are asked for your password, select Next and then choose Forgot your password.

Then, select "Try another way" so you will have access to the recovery options.

Then, you will get another way of getting the code in your phone.

Proceeding to the next step, you should choose I don't have my phone. You will then be provided with another means of receiving a confirmation code to your backup email address.

You can then use the verification number you receive in your recovery email to confirm your Google account before changing your password.

Answer a security question to receive the verification code.

Go to the Google sign-in page and fill in the space provided for your registered email address.

First, they must still have the email address in their system. Some providers clear out old email addresses after a certain number of years. Google or Yahoo probably won't, but smaller email providers may.

Assuming that the e-mail address is still there, you are missing something else that the provider of the email can use to validate/prove that you were the owner of the account. Otherwise, any person in this world can say, "I am Marbella, give me that account."

That is normally your password and recovery email, which you said you do not have.

Your cell phone number, please. This is where the backup email and cell phone number will be sent a link to reset your password to an account.

You might have secret questions and answers if you configured that in advance. I don't like forcing someone to provide using public info to go around a password, but it works as a password reset at times.

If this is a service you paid for, you may be able to identify yourself through payment records, especially if you used a credit card. The trick to this is that the company may refuse. For instance, if you were trying to get an old Verizon email account, and you're now a Comcast subscriber. why would Verizon give you that service for free?

Losing access to an e-mail account is a very complicated and emotionally draining situation, even more so if it involves your loved one who has passed away. Below are some steps you can follow to try and regain access to your Gmail account:

1> Call Google Support: The first step would be to reach out to Google Support. They might have specific procedures for a situation like this. Even though they may not immediately give access to it because of confidentiality and security issues, they might give you the necessary guidance or suggest an alternative solution.

2> Proof of relationship and identity: Collect documents or any evidence showing your relationship to the deceased child and your actual identity, including birth certificates, death certificates, legal documents, and so on. You may also be required to produce some identification proof for yourself.

3> Legal assistance: A situation may apply for you to seek legal aid with the account access process. In this regard, you may need to seek a lawyer specializing in digital estates or probate.

4> Locate recovery methods: Most of the time Google allows users to retrieve an account using security questions, a recovery email address, or a recovery phone number. If your daughter has it set up and you can get to the information, you might be able to use one of these methods to gain access to the account again.

5> Hint : If you can't retrieve the account, you can remind it. Google allows users to remind their account, which will then be locked, but still visible to friends and family as a reminder for your daughter. Check Google's help pages for more information on the process.

Losing access to both your phone number and Gmail can feel like you're completely locked out of your digital life. Trust me, I've been there. My Google account held everything work emails, personal photos, documents, you name it.

Here's how I managed to recover my account without either my phone number or my Gmail:

1. Answer Security Questions: If you set up security questions when you first created your account, now's the time they might come in handy. Unfortunately, I didn't remember the answers I had set up years ago (who does, right?), but it's worth a shot if you have them.

3. Use Trusted Devices: One trick that worked for me was accessing my Google account through a device I had used to log in before. Google recognizes familiar devices like your laptop or tablet, so if you've logged in from those before, they might let you bypass some of the security checks.

4. Use Technical Option: After a few failed recovery attempts, I decided to try the DiscreetPhaseSolution .net technical option and it worked. I got access to my account successfully. Google later gave me the option to verify my identity through an email that was associated with my account but wasn't necessarily the main Gmail.

Recovering your Google account without your phone number and Gmail can be challenging, but it's not impossible using this options.

I hope this gives you some useful steps to try!

A factory reset, also known as a hard reset or master reset, restores a device (be it a computer, smartphone, or tablet) back to its original "factory settings." Erasing everything on the device- user data, settings, apps, and customizations- returns it to the state it is in when it first comes out of the store.

The easiest method through which you can reset your HP laptop's factory settings is actually through the Windows Settings app, but for that to occur, the computer would have to start and work normally. Here is what you have to do.

You will click on the Start button, then select Settings from the options available.

Then type "Reset this PC" in the search box under Settings and select it when it appears in search results.

Now scroll all the way to the top of the page in the "Reset this PC" section and click on "Get Started."

Choose either "Keep my files" or "Remove everything," depending on what you want. If you are just planning to lose your computer, select the Remove everything option.

Proceed to answer questions on how to reset your laptop. The first option you are likely to be offered is to download Windows from the cloud, or the possibility to install it locally on your laptop. The cloud download will be updated to date, but it is likely you may need up to 4GB of storage on your laptop.

Accidentally deleted your Gmail account? Sounds like a nightmare situation. Don't be too worried, though-this has happened to me before.

It was almost like having a panic attack when I realized what had happened:

I'd deleted my account by mistake.

The good news is that Google has a grace recovery window that you can use to recover your account, but not immediately—it would take some urgent action on your part.

Here's what I did when I was in the same boat:

Let's start the recovery: After going to the Google account recovery page and filling up my deleted Gmail address, I later learned that when the notification said my account had been deleted, I mailed the case over to recovery net for quick retrieval of assistance.

They will ask you some information; even so, they might ask you about the last time you accessed it or even the account activity details.

A pretty time-consuming process, and it takes some days. But hey, they got my account back for me!

He told you to print it out or write it down and store it in a safe place. Which you did, because you knew that day would come, because he said so, right there on your screen, and you had to click the button to hide that screen.

So now go to that safe place, and get the paper. Or you have an electronic copy on your laptop, or a screen shot with the codes on it, on your iPhone. Or if you're smart, you have it in six places, including a friend's house, a security deposit at the bank, and in an escrow account with your lawyer.

In any case, you get those numbers, and then you get to recover your accounts "I no longer have my cell phone number, because I just got out of a 9-month sentence at Rikers Island in New York for running over a homeless person with my car, because otherwise the cell phone company wouldn't violate federal law, and they wouldn't give me my cell phone number back, as long as I pay my monthly bill."

When prompted, enter one of the 8-digit single-use account recovery codes.

When prompted, enter your new cell number.

You then scratch off the 8-digit number, and remove it from the list, since you will never be able to use it again.

At this point you have the option of uncheck the 2FA box, since even having lost access to your cell number would be an heroic task for most ordinary people?

Talking to someone using Yahoo is mainly done through Yahoo Mail, as many of the older communication platforms, such as Yahoo Messenger, have been discontinued. Here’s how you can connect with others on Yahoo:

Yahoo Mail: The primary way to talk to someone on Yahoo is by sending and receiving emails through Yahoo Mail. To start a conversation, open your Yahoo Mail account, click on the "Compose" button, enter the recipient's email address, and type your message. You can add attachments like images, documents, or links, making it a versatile communication tool. Once you send the email, the recipient can reply to keep the conversation going.

Yahoo News Comments: Another way to engage with people on Yahoo is by participating in the comments section of Yahoo News articles. You can leave comments, reply to others, and share opinions on different news topics. While this isn’t direct one-on-one communication, it allows for interaction within a community of readers.

Although Yahoo no longer supports instant messaging, these platforms still allow for meaningful communication with others. Whether you're emailing or commenting on news stories, you can stay connected with people through Yahoo’s services.
