4. Click Remove Gmail permanently under Delete a Product. ...
5. Make sure Yes, I want to permanently delete [email protected] and remove it from my Google account.

Have you got it linked to anther email account?

The accounts should be separate, unless you have given exactly the details.

You should be able to log-on using the email address [email protected] and using the password you gave on setting it up.

Then check the settings, that you have not "shared" the account.

If so remove the share and you should be able to log into each account separately.

Yes, it would appear gmail assigned you a new account.
To Delete the NEW account from Google:

1. Sign in to the NEW account at accounts.google.com.
2. At the top, click Data tools.
3. In the Data Tools box, click Delete products.
4. Click Remove Gmail permanently.

Now, to get into your OLD gmail account through your new smart phone, you first need to delete the NEW gmail account from the phone. I do not know what kind of phone it is, so I suggest you go into the store where you purchased the phone and ask for assistance.
Apparently, incorrect selections were made while attempting to put your OLD gmail account into the phone, and Google assigned you a gmail account based on your name. It is similar to the old account name.
The specifics of your phone's operating system prevent me from knowing how to properly help you. But it's obvious you need to delete the NEW gmail account, install the OLD gmail account, so when you tap the gmail icon, you get what you want. The people who sold you the phone will be able to help you the best.
Sorry I couldn't do more.

You can all ways get your account back by using the email address you used to open it with . Then click on forgotten password, and follow instructions. If you have two email accounts you can not join them.

Hello,
I hope you are using Google Chrome browser. Just create one more Google Chrome account and set-up with your new gmail account. It will be totally independent from each other. You can create many :)

Click the "Need help?" link on the Gmail sign-in page.

Your username might be wrong or click on the forgot password. They will get you through the instructions.

Simply click on the link beneath your sign in that say "Forgot password". They will assist you in retrieving your pass word or will give you a new one.

4. Enter the username for the Gmail or Google Account in the field provided.
5. Enter the captcha letters as shown in the image on screen.
6. If you never login to the Gmail for the previous 24 hours, a secret question as set in the Google Account will be presented. Answer the question with a correct answer in order to be able to reset the password.

If you're unable to answer your security question and the account has a secondary email address configured, a link will appear at the bottom of the secret question results page. Clicking on the link will has a password reset email message sent to the secondary email mailbox. After receiving the email, follow the link to reset the password.

If you have login to Gmail in the preceding 24 hours period, the password reset email will be sent immediately instead. Follow the link to reset the password. If you don't have a secondary email address, or if you no longer have access to that account, repeat the steps above after 5 days. At that point, you'll be able to reset your password by answering the security question you provided when you created your account.
7. If you cannot remember the answer to secret question, cannot answer the secret question correctly and do not receive password reset email in secondary email account, try to contact Google for help.
