He explained why that wouldn't work. Because he made the mistake of using a 'universal' password.
I'm guessing; once the 'hacker' got into the gmail account, he had access to the profile page, which listed the "secondary account", which he got into with the same password. So, the poster has
also lost access to that secondary account, to which the 'forgotten password question' would have been sent.
Nowhere near as many security precautions as should have been taken as a matter of course, let alone for a 'file uploading' set-up.
