Steps to Protect Yours Orkut Profile When Hacked
It can be a nightmare if someone else takes control of your Google Account because all your Google services like Gmail, Orkut, Google Calendar, Blogger, AdSense, Google Docs and even Google Checkout are tied to the same account.
Here are some options suggested by Google Support when you forget the Gmail password or if someone else takes ownership of your Google Account and changes the password:
1. Reset Your Google Account Password:
Type
the email address associated with your Google Account or Gmail user
name at google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd - you will receive an email at
your secondary email address with a link to reset your Google Account
Password.
This will not work if the other person has changed your secondary email address or if you no longer have access to that address.
2. For Google Accounts Associated with Gmail:If
you have problems while logging into your Gmail account, you can
consider contacting Google by filling this form. It however requires
you to remember the exact date when you created that Gmail account.
3. For Hijacked Google Accounts Not Linked to Gmail:If
your Google Account doesn’t use a Gmail address, contact Google by
filling this form. This approach may help bring back your Google
Account if you religiously preserve all your old emails. You will be
required to know the exact creation date of your Google Account plus a
copy of that original “Google Email Verification” message.It
may be slightly tough to get your Google Account back but definitely
not impossible if you have the relevant information in your secondary
email mailbox.
