Hope this helps.
I know out of experience that it's a fooking nightmare to recover it. They went over the top with those questions.

Recovering my old gmail 24 Replies
I have been through all the recovery forms just for the Google system to put my account in security hold with no response from your service.. My Gmail was on my old phone that is now broke, I have recently bought a new phone. I haven't accessed this one in years forgot the password I can access my recovery email, I don't got the phone number that is set to the account anymore. Since I have changed from boost to metro so my Number has changed. Thank you for your time.

Google do not put accounts on "hold".


https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery provides the only way to recover an account.

You must read  https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7299973?hl=en and  http://gmailaccountrecovery.blogspot.com/  before attempting recovery.

If possible, use both a device and location that worked previously when accessing  the account.  And don't try when using a VPN.

Google will not be able to return the account, if you can't provide enough information to convince them that you are the rightful account holder.

Let us know the result.

Well it may have not said "security hold" but it said something along with security. I have decided to wait the allotted 3-5 days since I sent in my recovery and Hopefully they can help me. thank you for the reply greatly appreciated I will update when something happens. Take care.

It would appear, from what you have posted, that Google are already helping you.

Come back with the reply from Google, if you need more assistance.  

Before doing this, please wait five (5) business days after you received the last delay notification from Google.

In the meanwhile, do not keep attempting to recover the account.  You will go to last on the queue, and may be blocked for spamming,

Google may be delayed by US weekend, or holidays, if any.  No way to expedite this, sorry.

To avoid confusion, and to ensure that you are helped, please start your own unique thread, and describe the problem, clearly and concisely.  You will not usually be helped by posting in some other person's question.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Or this

I am am as we speak enduring this very nightmare. My best advice is to email the account recovery dept of Google, provide as many details that you can throw at them. EXAMPLES: address of account, last known password, the most specific date you estimate you created account -( THIS SEEMS A REALLY POPULAR DETAIL TO KNOW, BUT YOUR BEST GUESS IS ACCEPTABLE) contacts you may have sent mail to, or received mail from, services you used the account to log into, any phone number linked to account. Basically ANY & ALL details you remember. Google will then assess your likelyhood of authenticity as owner, and within a few days will email you a link to recover the exact account. WARNING TO KEEP IN MIND: Keep a keen eye out for this reply as the link provided has a narrow expiry window, 24 hours or less I think, and then you have to start over from step one again. This is what I am currently in need of doing myself. Not a happy camper now!!!

The above is basically all you can do.
If you don't have the phone(number) you used or a recovery email /recovery question its idle hope to being able to get in.
In that case I would try the second one.
Send them as much information you can that might prove that you are the rightful owner.

I'm glad I run my own email, no need to rely on others.
With companies, it seems the bigger they are, the more useless they are when you want help.
