Users often have various problems when they try to get into their YouTube account. This problem can appear in different cases. There are several ways to regain access to your account. Let's take a look at each of them.
Most often, the problems are associated with the user, and not with failures on the site. Therefore, the problem will not be solved by itself. It is necessary to eliminate it so that you do not have to resort to extreme measures and not create a new profile.
Reason 1: Incorrect password
If you cannot log into your profile due to the fact that you forgot your password or the system indicates to you that the password is incorrect, you need to restore it. But first, make sure you are entering everything correctly. Make sure not to hold down the CapsLock key and you are using the language layout you want. It would seem that explaining this is ridiculous, but most often the problem is precisely the user's carelessness. If you checked everything and the problem is not resolved, then follow the instructions to recover your password:
You can change the question until you find one that you can answer. After entering the answer, you need to follow the instructions that the site will provide to regain access to your account.
Reason 2: Invalid email address
It so happens that the necessary information flies out of the head and cannot be remembered in any way. If it so happens that you forgot your email address, then you need to follow the approximate same instructions as in the first method:
Reason 3: Loss of account
Attackers often use other people's profiles for their own benefit by hacking them. They can change your login information so that you no longer have access to your profile. If you think that someone else is using your account and, perhaps, it was he who changed the data, after which you cannot log in, you need to use the following instructions:
You now own your profile again, and the fraudster who also used it will no longer be able to log in. And if he remained in the system at the time of the password change, he will be immediately thrown out.
Reason 4: Problem with the browser
If you access YouTube through a computer, the problem may be in your browser. It may not work correctly. Try downloading a new internet browser and logging in through it.
Reason 5: Old account
Decided to look at a channel that you haven't visited for a long time, but can't enter? If the channel was created before May 2009, then problems may arise. This is because your profile is old and you used your YouTube username to sign in. But the system has changed a long time ago and now we need an e-mail connection. You can restore access as follows:
You can now log into YouTube using Google mail.
These were the main ways to solve problems with logging in to your YouTube profile. Look for your problem and try to solve it in a suitable way, following the instructions.

Many already use such popular video hosting as YouTube, and many are familiar with all its functions. It is not surprising that every year it becomes more and more popular, because unrealistically cool features are added that no other video hosting can provide.
Login options
However, there are people who have never used it until now and do not know how to download the required program, how to log into their account (if it exists). Also, many do not know how to go from one channel to another, because there you can create a huge number of different channels on a variety of topics. Let's start with how to get there using any browser:
- The first step is to go into the browser itself, we will use Mozilla. And so, you should go to the browser itself. The screenshot shows the browser itself.
- After you have opened it, you need to enter the search link of the site in the search box, that is, youtube.com.
- After that, you need to go to the specified page and the video hosting we need will open there. It is not too difficult to use it, if it is there for the first time, then in a few minutes you will completely master yourself as a simple user. However, if you want to act as a blogger, then here you already need to study the project a little, since there are quite a few provided functions, as well as, in fact, limitations.
- Now you can use it, but with some restrictions. Do not forget that everyone can watch the video there, however, the ability to like and comment on the video is possible only if they are registered there. If you want to do all of the above, then register, there is nothing complicated there.
And so, we figured out how to enter YouTube using a browser, but many people like to watch videos from their smartphone, but only not everyone understands how to download this program and how to go there, how to enter your profile from there, and so on. Let's try to figure it out.
In addition, you can go to your account and synchronize all data from there, but more on that later. All videos that were viewed in browser mode will be visible in the program, and the list of recommendations will not change.
But what if you don't want to install any program, or there is not enough space on your phone / tablet? Then you can open any convenient browser on your phone that is installed (one of the most optimal is Google Chrome), and again follow the instructions:
- Go to the desired browser and find the search field
All methods work only if you use a phone, then it is better to download the program, because there is practically no lag (especially if the device is weak, then it is not worth it through the browser).
Now it's time to understand how to log into your YouTube account, where you need to enter your username and password, how to enter there using the YouTube mobile application and what privileges it will give us.
How to enter your channel?
Let's start with the fact that registered users can upload a video at any time and anyone can watch it. Also, after logging into your account, you can watch videos with the tag "18+" if the date of birth is specified not earlier than 1999. It will also be possible to launch a live broadcast, and the most important thing for which a huge number of people shoot videos is monetization, that is, making money on their videos.
All these features become available only to registered users, and now it's time to figure out how to log into your account from a computer / laptop:
- We go to the site Youtube.com
Many new Internet users are overcome by the question of how to register on YouTube and create a channel on this service. This desire is understandable and fully justified. Still, Youtube bears the honorary title of one of the largest video hosting sites on the network. It is replete with interesting content on almost all existing topics (including unique, exotic). Music, sports, cinema, science, the supernatural ... and much, much more.
YouTube videos cheer you up, make you smile and laugh, help solve many problems, discover new skills and abilities, and give you a lot of usefulness. And by the way, most of them were filmed and uploaded to the service by ordinary users of the service.
