One account was linked to my previous phone number which, of course, was cancelled when I moved. I failed to jump all the hoops they supplied to recover the account.

No great loss as they were for backups only but it did smarten me up on securing access to my main accounts.

Good luck getting Google to respond to your enquiries in this situation.
Did you enter a secondary email account for password recovery? Did you not have the answer to your recovery question written down on some paper or so?
Maybe you can still re-access your account if you'd retrieve that piece of paper (if you had any)?


I never forgot any of my passwords, hence I never entered a Phone number. I just wonder what Google understands in "maximum number of accounts". Odd they don't state that exact number.
