The easiest way to restore it is when it is not completely deleted, but (at your request or because you have not used it for a long time). For example, if you enter your username and password, a notification like “your blocked” appears, and sometimes a message appears that supposedly “deleted”, but among the functions there is an option to “restore”. As a rule, if your account has been “frozen”, so to speak, due to the fact that you have not used it for a long time, you just need to enter a password and, in theory, your account should be reactivated automatically.
Sometimes recovery is more difficult. Again, the reason for deletion is important. In some cases, in order to do so, you need more than a login and password. On many sites, when registering, you can set your secret question, enter email address(or if yours is blocked in postal system, alternative e-mail).
If the reason for blocking a is spam, network attacks, etc., then this means that your system contains some other malicious software. First of all, you can try to check yourself for spam using the checker (follow the link http://www.2ip.ru/spam/). If during the check you see the inscription LISTEN in red, then you need to follow the link and get your IP from the spam database.

No one is immune from losing their password or other data to access their Google account. In this article we will tell you in detail how to recover a Google account.
Forgot your password
This method is suitable for those users who have absolutely all the information to restore their account. When registering an account, you must fill in all the data that can help with recovery. If you have all the necessary data, to recover your Google account password you should do a few things: simple steps: Go to Google Account Recovery and in the window that opens, select the line “I don’t remember my password.”
Then enter the email address of the account you want to recover and click Continue.
Entering data in the line “I don’t remember my password”
A line will open in which you need to enter the password that you remember. If you can’t remember your password at all, click the “Difficult to answer” button.
After clicking the “Difficult to answer” button, the system will automatically go to the password recovery form. Here you can restore your Google account using the phone number to which the account is linked. The system will offer to choose the most convenient option for you - SMS message or voice call.
In case you do not have access to the specified phone number, there is a corresponding button. After clicking on it, another form will appear in which you will need to enter the spare email address.
Attention! If you did not provide a mobile phone number and a backup email address, this method will not work for you!
Missing phone number and spare email
If there is no contact information, you can still restore your account. However, it will be a little more difficult. To do this, you also click on the “I don’t remember my password” option in Google Account Recovery, after which a special form will open. In it you will need to answer several questions about using your account. This procedure is necessary because Google cares about the security of its users' data. If you don't remember the exact answers to the questions or dates, give at least an approximate answer. All fields are required!
After you fill out the data, the system will recognize you as the owner (if the answers are given exactly or approximately correctly), and a form will be opened for you to set a new password.
Recovering using a mobile phone
In order to be able to use this method in the future, during registration you need to enable the password recovery function by mobile phone number. Thus, if you lose your password, restoring it will not take much time. Using this method, you can restore your Google account on your phone. To perform a password recovery operation, follow a few simple steps:
- 1. Go to the support page and enter the phone number that was specified during registration in the special field.
- 2. After clicking the “Next” button, a small window will appear in front of you with a code that you need to enter in the field below and click “Continue”. After this, the following window will open in which you must select the method of receiving the password reset code - SMS message or voice call.
- 3. After you select the appropriate option, the following window will open with a field for entering the code. If the code is entered correctly, the old password will be reset and you can set a new one.
Attention! The number of SMS sent per day is limited! There are also cases when the SMS does not arrive immediately, so if you did not wait for the SMS message and sent several more requests, the last version of the code in the message will be correct.
Account completely forgotten
You had a Google account, and you suddenly remembered it, but you don’t even remember your login - this method is for you. To restore, you need to go to gmail.com. A login window will open in front of you. In it, click the “Unable to sign in to your account” button.
A window will appear with options for recovery. Select “I don’t remember my username” and click the “Continue” button.
Selecting “I don’t remember my username”
In the new window, carefully fill out the fields. All fields are required. Here you need to enter a spare email address, last name and first name during registration and enter the code from the picture, then click “Submit”.
After the manipulations have been completed, a letter will be sent to you to your alternate email address with further instructions on restoration.
Account has been deleted
A deleted Google account can only be restored within one week after deletion. After this, the account is deleted forever without the possibility of recovery. To do this, open the gmail.com website and enter your account login and password.
You can restore your account only by sending a code to your mobile phone number. To do this, you need to choose a more convenient way to receive the code - an SMS message or a voice call.
If you use the phone number and alternate email at this moment is not possible, you can benefit from recovery by providing account information. The data must be provided as accurately as possible so that the system recognizes you as the account owner. If the answers are incorrect, the system will not restore the account. In this case, the problem can only be resolved by registering a new account.
Synchronization with phone after changing password
First, select a password recovery or change method, then install New Password. After changing the password, activate synchronization with the application on your mobile phone.
If synchronization does not occur automatically, then you need to go to the phone settings and stop the application through them yourself. After this, the application needs to be launched and it will ask for a new password.
Conclusion
Nowadays, a Google account gives you access to all services under one name. It is very convenient and easy to use. Also, almost no registration on third-party resources can be completed without specifying an email. This is why it is worth having a Google account. But if you forgot your password or even login to log into your account, it doesn’t matter. Restoring it is quite simple, especially if you remember (or have written down) some data, such as a secret word, registration date, etc. During registration, do not neglect to enter all the necessary data for subsequent account recovery. It is necessary to fill out all fields, especially your last name and first name, as well as your mobile phone number and spare email address.
How to recover a Google account: The most effective ways
Open Source Deanon Tools
In the first years, my sexy classmate Disa was busy picking up new girls on stream, finding their VKontakte accounts and determining all their interests. A popular practice already in those days, judging by my surveys. Fun and playful: VK was several years old, few people thought about privacy on the Internet at all, and easily obtained personal information made it possible to do all sorts of things to a person. Or, fortunately, not to do anything wrong. Today, even more de-anonymizing data is leaked onto the Internet, often surprising even the pundits of our time. You can even find people on the Internet who don’t use it—your parents, for example. Today we are talking about deanonymization and your favorite “IP calculation”.
Social networks don't just know everything about you, they can even know things you don't fully understand. Like the story with the pregnant schoolgirl. Try to dig into advertising targeting on Facebook - you will be surprised at what non-obvious parameters you can use to target ads. From my experience: showing a banner to “two close people temporarily separated by distance” and searching for “people who donate a lot to mobile games for iOS."
You can close or delete yourself from social networks, but it’s unlikely that you’ll be removed from government databases. On the one hand, this is convenient: a confident PC user, Lyudmila Mikhailovna from the housing department, no longer asks you to bring spit-stained receipts from your mailbox - she has the “City” system. You can check your taxes, fines and debts by going to the website of the relevant service, and modern banks have even learned to do all this for you (at least in Moscow).
On the other hand, the “phone database” on DVD is a bestseller on Gorbushka in the early 2000s. Bullshit from the past, yes, but imagine my surprise when one of the real mobile numbers I was able to get through all the data on my car with great difficulty. Using the VIN number I found, I was able to find out the phone numbers, names and regions of residence of the previous owners. By name - VK accounts, their previous cars and... in short, let's get started.
In this post we’ll talk about finding “ordinary” people. Let's analyze the tools for obtaining maximum information about a person in open sources networks, no worse than the old-school “call by phone.” For celebrities, politicians and popular accounts methods may differ, but overlap in many ways.
This time it’s more difficult with examples. Despite dozens of successful deanons, I cannot link to any of them without violating the privacy of the participants. You will have to take examples from other sources or experiment on yourself.
Basic clues for the search
Personal data
Nickname, first and last name, date of birth, phone number, address, education, service, Taxpayer Identification Number (SSN), etc. More often than not, only one thing is known, but often this is enough to get started.Let's go to Google. The starting point of most investigations. By nickname, Google will reveal a person’s accounts in games or on forums, which often reveal other data to us. Steam knows what other nicknames a person plays under, the forums display the date of birth. Educational institutions often publish lists of students. One “but” - don’t rush to immediately trust what you find. How often do you enter something like 01-02-1983 instead of your date of birth on forums? So am I.
Don't forget about search operators. Searching for “filetype:doc” (or xls, pdf) can help if a person has participated in any olympiads or competitions. Educational institutions often publish their results on websites without thinking much about privacy. American or Euro students can be found using the “site:.edu” filter, which will search for sites in the university zone.
Social search and the deep web. Although large search engines have agreed with social networks to index their data, it is often just a first and last name and a couple of lines of biography. Social networks still remain practically a DeepWeb for researchers; on the investigation site FirstDraftNews a whole article was written for foreigners on how to register in VK to make it easier to conduct investigations.
+
Search Facebook , , Twitter- the main starting points. Their capabilities are enormous: search by vague name, age, study and service.
+
Explanations are unnecessary here; the search forms speak for themselves. Filtering by city, age and other data is not difficult. But there are also some things that are not obvious. From what I often use: Facebook allows you to search by phone number, even if the user is not your friend - a new “phone database” from Gorbushka. Twitter will help you find not only the user, but also everyone who responded to him in replays or mentioned him in specific dates. If you know more similar non-obvious features, write in the comments under this paragraph.
Meta search engines and aggregators. In Russia, the most popular is people.yandex.ru, abroad there is PeekYou and analogues that are easy to Google using the query “people search”. Their bases and capabilities are meager, most often gentleman's set this is the name and the city. But their advantage is that they often find linked accounts on other social networks that you might not even know about.
Documents and open data
In addition to our personal footprint on social networks, some data appears online without our knowledge. Databases of all ministries, public utilities, government services, Rosreestr, registers of legal entities, bailiffs - all this opens additional features For search. For example, you know that your target drives a car, is engaged in business, or bought an apartment - most likely some information about these transactions is easily available on the Internet.+
This data is not available for search engines, as they require input search query. But these databases are often used by Navalny’s FBK; they conduct many of their investigations through the state procurement register, Rosreestr (the latter about Medvedev too) and the paid service SPARK, which recently became famous in the history of the League of Schools.
+
Obviously, there is no single global repository for such data. If you need to find a person outside the Russian Federation, look for the appropriate database. Often the availability of personal data in other countries can be surprising. From the experience of my own searches, I can say that in Sweden and some states of the United States there are so-called White Pages, where you can easily find such terry insights that this entire post will seem unnecessary. Right down to the cat's name.
+
In the USA or Europe there is a lot of open data, in Asia and the Middle East there is less. Here are a few more aggregators for example.
Skipease— still a live page with a selection of social search engines in the USA. There is also a whole list of alternatives on the page; they can help in other countries.
+
Investigative Dashboard Search— search for documents and companies, an analogue of Spark for international searches. It also works well in Russia, especially if the person is in the top or is involved in government procurement. This is how you can find out that Navalny was on the board of directors of Aeroflot in 2012 (but no longer). I didn't know.
+
AVInfo— an open database of cars in Russia and their owners. You can search by license plate number, owner’s phone number, VIN and get a lot of information about previous owners, maintenance, insurance and technical inspections. The database contains more than 13 million Russian cars, mostly from Moscow and St. Petersburg.

It is used to its fullest by auto-pickers, since, among other things, it aggregates and saves advertisements from the author and the directory. There is a paid account with advanced features for them, but for most of our purposes a free one will do. If someone has not yet understood what the goals are, then this makes it possible to recognize him from a photograph of the next “kid next to his four” in one request mobile phone. And if, to celebrate, he also posted on Instagram a photo of the registration certificate or driver’s license on his forehead, as is customary upon receipt, then here the deanon can be right up to his home address. This is probably a topic for a separate post.
+
Or a more everyday question: find out the phone number of the previous owner of the car in order to politely (!) ask how long ago the suspension was changed. If you have used any other similar services, share your experience in the comments below.

Photos
We looked for places based on photography in the previous post, but these tools are often suitable for people. The view from the window can give out coordinates, and a reverse search by image can lead to the user’s avatar or album with photographs. On leprosy or dvach, they always find all sorts of skins in VK, it’s as easy as shelling pears.+
What stands out here is searching for people by photo. The first such service was Face.com, it even found inaccurate matches of facial features, but it was quickly bought and closed by Facebook. I won’t joke about the Crafty Mark again, they joked about it already in the previous post. Last year, FindFace from N-Tech.Lab appeared for VK, doing roughly the same thing, but under the guise of a marketing tool. Based on it, Egor Tsvetkov’s project from the St. Petersburg “Paper” was especially bombed, when he photographed strangers in the subway and then found their profiles on VK, learning a lot about their lives from one sad photo.
Location
IP address. “I’ll calculate by IP” has become a meme, but this does not make the method any less effective. Through the GeoIP2 City database, the country and city where a given IP address is located is clearly determined. Accuracy to the city is almost guaranteed; I have been using their database in my projects for three years now. Failures occur only in rare cases when some mobile operator decides to transfer a pool of IP addresses from one region to another. But this happens once a couple of years and can be easily resolved by updating the database monthly.+
GeoIP also provides coordinates, but warns not to use them as the user's location. Most often, this is just a point somewhere in the center of the city or district of the provider. But we can try to find a map of this provider’s nanonetworks, and the search area becomes even larger.

But IP is very easy to fake, it is never 100% proof. Proxy servers and VPN tunnels allow anyone to do this in one click. If a person wants to hide an IP, it won’t be difficult. GeoIP gives a different part of the world - most likely he did, but still sometimes this can be a clue.
Other user photos. Once you have your license, stick it on your forehead and post it so everyone can recognize the series and number. This has already been done above. Less obvious ones include photographs of supermarket receipts, electronic queue coupons, or the view from the window. Determining the address down to the floor becomes a matter of technique and desire, if this is important.
+
There is no single advice here. Any information from the photo can become a clue, look carefully at your surroundings.
Geo search. All popular social networks have geotags. Facebook suggests checking in in a variety of places, Twitter writes your coordinates to each tweet, VK adds a geotag to photos from mobile applications. Sometimes the user does not notice this, and to fake them, you need to know how to program. For the tweeter there is GeoSocialFootprint, which analyzes the user's latest geotags. You can try to find similar services for other social networks or sort through this data manually.
+
There is also the opposite possibility: search for tweets near specific coordinates. So request
