    ^^ If you remember answer of secret question which you filled while creating the GMail account, then you can recover the password using "Forgot password" link. Otherwise its almost impossible to get the account back or to delete it.

  • my friend is complaining that some one logined in his orkut account and also had changed the password now... how can he restore his account .... so that the culprit should not misuse it...

    ^^ If he has not changed the security question, then you can reset the password using "Forgot password" link. Otherwise report that Orkut account and ask your friends to report it. As much as people report it, you'll have higher chances that Orkut will remove the account.
