If you’ve ever forgotten your Google account password, or if you just want to retrieve your old account information, there are a few simple steps you can take. First, sign in to your Google account at www.google.com/accounts. If you don’t have an account, create one now. Next, click the “Forgot your password?” link on the main page of your account. You’ll be asked to enter your email address and password. If you’ve never used those credentials before, Google will ask you to create a new password.
