Hello, I need help recovering access to an existing Data Studio report for Women To Women TV. The report belongs to my business, but I no longer have the email ID or password that was originally used to create/access it.
I do have the existing public report link and can provide it so the report can be identified. I can also provide information to verify that Women To Women TV is my business.
Can someone please help me identify the Google account associated with the report or advise me on the proper process to recover access?

Hello! Regarding your request to recover access to your Looker Studio report, here is how Google’s policies and guidelines apply to this situation:
Google’s Privacy & Security Terms:
-
No Manual Account Lookup: Due to strict data privacy and security regulations, community support teams, moderators, and Google employees cannot look up, reveal, or share a user’s lost email ID or password.
-
Ownership Protection: Google cannot transfer ownership or reassign access based solely on public report links or business verification documents shared in a public forum, as accounts must be verified through official automated security protocols to prevent unauthorized access.
Recommended Steps You Can Take:
-
Use Google Account Recovery: Try recovering your forgotten email address or resetting credentials using the official Google Recovery Page. You can attempt to look up the account using potential recovery phone numbers or alternative email addresses associated with your business.
-
Check Workspace Administrator (If Applicable): If the report was created under a Google Workspace organization account for your business, your organization’s super administrator may be able to restore the deleted or lost user account.
One thing I would check in addition to the steps already mentioned is whether the report was originally created under a personal Google account or a Google Workspace account. That can make a big difference when trying to recover ownership or access.
If the original owner account still exists, I’d first try Google’s account recovery process and then sign into Looker Studio with every possible Google account that may have been used when the report was created. If it was a Workspace account, the Workspace administrator is probably the better route because they may be able to confirm the account status or help recover access.
The public report link is useful for identifying the report, but having the link alone normally wouldn’t be enough to prove ownership or transfer access. I’d avoid posting any passwords, recovery codes, or other private account information publicly.
If you still have access to the report from any account, I’d also check the report’s Share settings and see which accounts are currently listed as owners or editors. That may reveal an account that still has access and can restore the appropriate permissions.
