Hi, Sorry for troubling you but I've been locked out of my gmail account for nearly a year. I was using a password manager to store the password and the password database was stored locally,the database then got corrupted (I know I'm an idiot for not backing it up). I've tried to go through the account recovery process as I still posses the same phone number linked to that gmail account, however I'm unable to answer the question about when my account was created exactly, It was such a long time ago and I can't seem to remember it and at the end I get the error message "Google couldn't verify this account belongs to you". Is there any way to recover my account? I would really appreciate help in anyway possible, if that's alright with you. Thanks.

My friend doesn’t have the phone number linked with gmail account anymore, because it was set almost 13 years back. Anyway he can recover his account? He has already tried all the options available.
