Recover your hacked Gmail account

If your Gmail account is compromised, try the below link to recover the account:

http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/request.py?ara=1

On the page, click the option 'No' and on the next page provide as much correct details as you could to recover your account.

This has actually worked for many of my friends who had forgot the password or on a compromised account.

Cheers ;-)
