Youtube lost account

[TFU] Thegoon84 · 16 Apr 2020 at 09:20

I'm so annoyed with myself. Usually i write down passwords/save them to google drive. Somehow i've managed to lose the password to my daughters youtube channel!

Everytime i click forgot password for it to send me a reminder, nothing happens. I've tried everything on the Account recovery, i dont think there was a mobile phone attached to the account.

Is it gone for good now? Is there anything i can do?

I'm even questioning the email address i used..... you can sign up with @hotmail.com accounts to youtube can you?

You can indeed set up accounts that aren't tied to GMail/Gapps.

I use my work email (Office 365 hosted) to run a channel for work.

I lost a site a few years ago with around 200 videos on and can't get it back, I tried everything to get ownership of it but no luck.
This means there are videos on there that a certain person doesn't want on there anymore and asked me to delete them but I can't.

I tried and failed to gain access to a business channel. They weren't interested at all, I had to make a new channel and they then deleted the old.
