Having major gmail issues...someone please help

GuyWithGmailProblems · 07-25-2005, 10:24 AM

Looking for help with my gmail. On Friday the 22nd I was able to log on early in the morning. 5 minutes later my password didn't work. I've tried everything: using the forgot password link, sending Gmail Support emails, sending Gmail Security emails and more but haven't heard a thing from Google. I'm very concerned. I've had Hotmail since it first came out and I've NEVER had this problem with an email service. It'll teach me not to rely on gmail if this doesn't get resolved. If anyone has any tips let me know. Literally, email password doesn't work. Keeps prompting me for the password and has me enter a word that is then displayed on the screen.

The problem that i found with people registering a GMail account is that they don't change the secondary e-mail address, usually the secondary e-mail address will be the person whom invited you. Because of that, the person whom invited you can request the password and boom, they have your password only because the secondary e-mail address was not changed.
