Ernie,

Google has locked me out of my Gmail account. No matter what I try, the screen tells me "Too many failed attempts" to log in, which isn't true. I have the right Gmail address and password and have tried with and without connecting to VPN, but I get the same response. The page asks for my cell phone number as if it's going to send me a log in code number, I enter the number, then I get the two many failed attempts message. I'll try at a cafe or library to see if Google will let me in from there.

This is a Google issue, not a Mac problem, not sure what we could do to help.
