This equivalent story occured with me and my Google account, where all manner of external support proved pointless.

I eventually had to have a friend at Google contact the Gmail team to get my account lockout sorted out.

It makes you wonder if the story of the Google employee who couldn't unlock their own account is actually true or they was just stonewalling to get rid of the customer.

Reading this thread on HN, I started to panic thinking about what would happen if I lost my Gmail account, and then I saw this comment! What a reason to be a loyal googler until the end of the world!
