No. My issue is that to reset the password, Google is asking me to get something from an email which I don't know the password for. And that too when I have a recovery phone number setup on the account.

Asking to verify a code from the email for which I'm trying to reset the password is stupid and defeats the purpose of having a "recovery" phone number.

You made a point of callout out that you have money tied to the account.

So nitwit005 has a financial relationship with Google and should be able to access a support channel? Sounds like a perfectly reasonable assumption since Google appears to be profiting off nitwit005's content somehow.
I can't even understand the point you were attempting to make here.
