Recovering my old gmail, phone is no longer, and forgot password

Recovering my old gmail, phone is no longer, and forgot password.

The spam detector flagged this thread originally, and I misunderstood, thinking the poster wanted to recover an account here on these forums, so I PM’ed him.

I now understand the poster is looking for help to recover a GMail account he no longer has access to. In my PM response I said:

I thought, because you were messaging the TWIT forums you were trying to recover an account here. But if you’re attempting to recover your GMail account you’ll need to deal directly with GMail (as TWiT has no pull with GMail.)

Unfortunately there appears to be no human there to talk to, just machines, and the only process appears to be to supply information you probably no longer have. If you haven’t already give it a try at: How to recover your Google Account or Gmail - Google Account Help

What about the recovery email address that you can set in Gmail? Is that configured and do you still have access?

I’m guessing not but that’s what it’s there for.

Unfortunately, you are probably SOL.
