How do you access a Gmail account?

Gmail can be accessed through Gmail.com, or via the main Google homepage. Users will need a valid username and password to log into their account, which if forgotten, can be retrieved using the "Need help?" link on the sign in page.

From the Google homepage, click on the Gmail access link or simply type the URL into the address bar. The screen should load to a page asking for the user's login information. Type in the username and password in the appropriate fields, keeping in mind that passwords are case-sensitive. If you don't remember the password, you can click on the "Need help?". A password can be sent to an alternate email, or it can be texted to a mobile phone associated with your account.
