Have I become senile !

Yes, I have become  senile- for sure a tell tale sign of   approaching old age. For fear of hackers , I was well -or ill- advised   to change my  password for my g mail account , which I dutifully did.  Yesterday being a Sunday, when  i wanted to post something on my  blog, my efforts to recall or  retrieve my password miserably  failed. As a result, I had to go for a new account   and the very first post  is to announce my predicament.
Any suggestions to get back my forgotten password, apart from the solution available on Google   are  welcome . !   I shall continue to be in connect  with  my fellow bloggers  via my old blog: aarkay-musings.blogspot.com.
