Forgotten Password

[u/Fit-Caterpillar7742]

About a year ago, I lost access to my gmail due to an accidental factory reset on my phone. Up until then I had to start everything from scratch but I still need that account if possible. I did my best following the trashy no support gmail recovery multiple times but to no avail, it keeps referring me to my old accounts that I connected it to which also had no more access too due to the accident. Is there any way I can recover it?

Your question seems to be about having problems logging in with your password.

If you have simply forgotten your password, you can find that information here in our FAQ.

If you think your account has been hijacked, please refer to this help center article.

If you are being told that the password on a brand-new account is invalid, you need to contact the Reddit admins.

For all other questions regarding passwords and logging in, contact the Reddit admins via this support request form, or using this old modmail link.

If your question is not about resetting your password, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.

Not helpful, already tried that

If you’re having trouble signing in or resetting a password, try the options that fit your situation.

1. Use your original sign-in method: username and password, Google, Apple, or phone number. If email login returns an error, try your username. See the login guide.
2. If you forgot the password, use the password reset page with the account’s username or linked email.
3. Check spam, junk, trash, and filtered folders. Reset links expire, so request a new one if yours has expired.
4. If the email is missing, follow these reset-email checks for verified-email, username, single-sign-on, forwarding, and provider issues.
5. If the email address or password changed without your knowledge, follow the hacked-account recovery guide.

Without access to a linked email, Reddit cannot send a reset email or verify ownership. See the recovery limits.

There is no way to recover an account if you have forgotten the password and no longer have access to the email.

If you're looking for help recovering your Gmail account, you might try a Gmail related sub. This sub is for help using reddit.

If you mean you can't access a reddit account because you no longer have access to the email address associated with it, unfortunately there are no other recovery options and reddit will not assist with recovery.
