Locked Out of Google Account Too Many Failed Attempts. If you have read the posts from the Google discussion boards that instruct you to wait an entire, complete week before attempting to log in again: take that advice! I know it seems harsh and the way they word that seems harsh,but, it might just be your only chance. Stop trying to log-in and wait. If you have been attempting to log in non-stop for more than a few days- it can hurt your chances of being able to be recovered. After you wait and (maybe) are able to recover- please make sure you have some recovery method(s) in place in case it happens again. I'm not sure what triggers Google to require recovery steps,but, do prepare to respond with the correct recover info.
