Earlier today I received a warning from google that says they've disabled my gmail account (I've filled a form to investigate and waiting for an answer) and now I can't access to my drive, mails or Youtube. I've been updating my contact information on the websites I'm using. I was using google to login to this account, I'm not sure if I've set a password for this account and now I can't update my e mail address of because of the need for an password.

Is there a way to recover this account or I have to continue with a new account?

By you being able to write this message seems like you are still logged into the account.

I'm logged in on this browser but still I have to change the e mail that's linked to this account.

Lyricstranslate, as far as I know, is not a Google owned site like YouTube so your credentials here have nothing to do with Google. If you used a gmail address here you just will not be able to receive any notifications sent to it from Lyricstranslate. To change the address to a different one you can use “Edit Profile” where, by first entering your password, you can insert a different address.

Thanks but my main concern is that I've never set a password for this account unfortunately, only used my Google account to login (as I remember) now I don't have a password to use. Tried all the combinations I could think of. Browsers sometimes logoff after a while and I won't be able to login again, so does that mean I won't be able recover this account?

To login Lyricstranslate you can either use a username or an email address and you definitely need a password (which has nothing to do with Google) so you don’t use your Google account to login. Perhaps you mean that you used the same password you used for your Google account. If that’s the case, if your Google account is locked it doesn’t mean that your Lyricstranslate account is also locked.
In order to reset your password you’d have to use the “Request new password” feature which uses your current email address on file. Unless you can retrieve the password probably stored on your device, at this point you’d best wait till Google straightens out your situation.

No problem, however, the whole situation begs the question: if you don’t remember the password, how are you going to log into your Gmail account once restored?

Oh, I remember my Google password but Google disabled my account so I cannot check emails etc. In case of not being able recovering my account, I wanted to change my email with a new one but I can't remember my Lyricstranslate password which is necessary :/

What browser are you using and also did you perhaps save your password (lyricstranslate) on that browser?

Thanks for the suggestion! Probably I've never logged in with a password because I couldn't find something :/

And I'm using Google Chrome & opera mini

Oh, did you check on Chrome's Settings just in case?
Because if you did save your password it would be listed in the Autofill section.

Oh I checked but I couldn't find a password for Lyricstranslate. I'm waiting for an answer from Google, depending on that I'll log off for the last time/delete my account and maybe get a new account later.

Once you get your email address straightened out you will be able to reset your password: no need to delete you Lyricstranslate account.

I had no hopes to recover my account but now got a positive email from Google, once I recover my account I'll set a password for my account. Thank you all for your help :)
