admin console

[taylor101]

Tried to recover my workspace admin, it sent an email to (myemailhere@gmail.com)
But when you try to log in to google admin (myemailhere@gmail.com) using this it doesn't work
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello @taylor101 , I think that you will get a more qualified response if you post this question to the profiled forum. This forum is focused on Cloud Operations and not the administration of the Google Cloud accounts.

AFAIK, google admin (https://admin.google.com/) is used for managing groups and Google Workspace domain. While you can grant administrator role to any Google account including @gmail.com public accounts, usually it comes with an auto-generated admin@yourdomain account. If you lost / forget password to your Google account (Gmail account in your case), you should try to restore it using usual methods. As an alternative, you can try to contact Google support. The authentication in the google admin is not different than in Gmail although it can enforce MFA.

thank you so much! Do you know where about I can find the "profiled forum"? Really appreciate you Leoy!

I think that recovering access to Admin Console will best fit to the Security forum. Before you posting it, please have a look at the support article about recovering admin access. Maybe some options described there you can try.
