Here’s how to do it:
- Go to the Gmail login page.
- Click the “Forgot password?” link.
- Enter the email address associated with your Gmail account.
- Click the “Send” button.
- Google will send you an email with a link to reset your password.
- Click the link in the email.
- Enter a new password for your account.
- Click the “Reset password” button.
That’s it! You’ve now successfully reset your Gmail password.
Here are a few tips for creating a strong password:
- Make it at least 12 characters long.
- Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Don’t use any personal information in your password, such as your name, birthday, or address.
- Avoid using common passwords, such as “123456” or “password.”
By following these tips, you can create a strong password that will help keep your account secure.
