Cannot Access Gmail account

Day 18th March 2013: I came to office and unlike other day, I thought I will check my mail later that day and continued accessing my office e-mail. At around 11 I tried accessing and it gives me a message that my gmail password is wrong, WHAT! and I tried again but after around 3 times I gave up. And clicked on I forgot my password. After all the detailed questions, of which one was "when you created your gmail account" ! I have had it for long I don't remember my gmail account's BIRTHDAY! for heaven's sake.

After all that they did not return my account because they were not satisfied with my memory of my account, later after I don't know how many attempts they asked for alternating id and phone numbers. I got a message that they would get back to me.

Its day 3 after this incident. Still waiting....

Finally got access to it after 3 days of dread. One tip, ask people to mail you who's email id you have given as an answer to the question that asks whom have you emailed recently.
