  1. You need to act rapidly to recover your account
  2. Begin the account recovery process at Google.
  3. Or use this Account Recovery Option page rather than Restoring a deleted account which doesn't give any instructions.
  4. Finding out what actually happened - whether an accident on your part or being hacked would be helpful but may or may not be possible.
  5. To protect yourself in the future, make sure that you have a back-up email address and a working phone number in the google system. That will allow communication if you cannot access your account, forget your password.  It will also give you a contact back-up. (I send certain emails to a 2nd account for back-up as I misuse my email as a filing system for recipes and notes even though I also file in my computer files as well)
  6. Another way to find current help as things change on Google frequently, is simply to use the Google Help Forum because Google staff frequently respond and can directly offer assistance.
