In my case, I got my account back after 7 days. Here's the wonderful email I received: "Our system detected suspicious activity occurring with your account, and disabled it to ensure that the account user was the same person as the account owner (you)." I'm sorry, but you don't shut off someones account for 7 days just because someone else tried unsuccessfully to get into it. My password is strong enough to thwart some idiot trying random passwords thankyou. Luckily in my case I was able to hassle Adwords support. I'm not convinced I would have got it back at all if I hadn't been able to contact them and get some progress. It's a good thing though - I now have a very nice email server setup (Thanks slicehost for the awesome articles). And I've downloaded all 4 years worth of email from gmail.
