A neighbor used my computer to access her gmail account. Now when I try to access MY account on MY computer, it automatically opens her account.

How can I get her account to stop appearing on my computer?

A detail like a website remembering you is stored in a cookie.

You can remove the Gmail cookies to make the website forget about your neighbor.
