5. A new window opens;
6. Click “Forgot your password”;

There, everything will depend on how you securely access your account.

If you have a phone or tablet with your Google account set up, this will be enough to unlock it. You will then see a message indicating that you tried to connect from another device and asking you to validate the request. Simply accept by pressing the corresponding button.

Now, if you have enabled two-step authentication, you can also request to receive a code by SMS. It will allow you to start the reset process. Same of course if you have specified a secondary address.
