What to do when your orkut account is 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, Ad Sense, Google Docs and 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 takesownership of your Google Account and change the password:

1. Reset Your Google Account Password:

Type the email address associated with 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 thataddress.

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. Ithowever 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 bringback your Google Account if you religiously preserve all your old emails. You will be required to know the exact creationdate 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 relevantinformation in your secondary email mailbox.
