How the heck does one close an escaped gmail account?

Had a droid hacked then stolen a year ago. Gmail was automatic sign in on the device and i have no way to remember username and password. I'm worried that the lost account can still be used to get my personal info via fb, hotmail etc. I have tried to kill gmail and don't seem to be able to get through their process without signing in to an account I no longer have access to.

You can try and Contact Gmail Directly http://www.google.com/contact/ and https://support.google.com/mail/answer/50270?hl=en

I'm just saying we can't do anything for you and only Gmail. Can you make a new gmail account one with a strong password and remove the old account from your Android and any others devices connected to the old account?
