🌟 How to Fill Out the Google Workspace Account Recovery Form

📝 Step-by-Step: How to Fill Out the Recovery Form HERE

1️⃣ Make sure you actually need this form

Before you begin, check whether:

You’re locked out of the Admin Console ❌🔐

There’s no other admin on the account who can reset your access

If all of that is true → this form is for you! 🙌

2️⃣ Gather the Information You’ll Need

Before opening the form, have these ready:

🔍 Field💡 What to Enter

Admin account email —> The locked-out admin email (e.g., admin@yourchurch.org)

Alternate contact email —> A working email where Google can reach you 📬

Phone number —> Helpful if you want Google to call you + highly recommended ☎️

Time zone + contact time —> So Google knows when to reach out ⏰

Reason for recovery —> Example: “Forgot password,” “Lost 2-Step Verification,” etc.

3️⃣ Fill Out & Submit the Form 🚀

Select the drop down field that's related to your need

Fill in the requires fields

Type everything in carefully!

Double-check your contact info 👀

Click Submit

Watch your inbox (and spam folder!) for emails from workspacesupport@google.com. for Google’s follow-up message 📥✨

Google may ask for extra details to verify ownership.

🛡️ Tips to Prevent Future Lockouts

To make sure this doesn’t happen again, review these best practices:

✔️ Have more than one Super Admin on the account 👥

✔️ Set up recovery email + phone for each admin 📱

✔️ Store 2-Step Verification backup codes securely 🔐

✔️ Remove old admins when staff changes occur 🧹

This ensures your church never loses access again.
