Go to Gmail, type down your email address, then click whatever the password reset option is and follow the instructions.

you can try to contact google support

if you link your gmail to your main email you can recover gmail with your main email

it is better if you link your gmail with your phone

but i think you lost your gmail account

Sometimes it lets you try and guess a prior password if you click the forgot password link. I have mine linked to another mail account as a point of contact, so it sends a verification code to the other account, so I am okay as long as I remember the pass to at least one of my email accounts.

If you contact Google, try to remember as much as you can about the old account. Who was on your contacts. What other Google services are associated with the account. Who you were mailing to most recently. What the subject lines were. This is kinda the sort of stuff on Microsoft's automated questionare if you get totally locked out of Outlook. Not sure if Google has this or if they'll want a formal photo I.D. that matches the "Real Name" of the account, like Facebook is known to want sometimes.

if you still have access to the sim number used to make that account, use google account recovery
