Hello, I created email addresses for my daughters on September 8th, [redacted]. Regrettably, I did not record the passwords I used. I attempted account recovery for both addresses to reset them, but as no emails have ever been sent from these accounts, the reset process is not successful. I require assistance in resetting the passwords for the email addresses [redacted] and [redacted], both linked to my family account. Thank you for your help in recovering access to these accounts. Sincerely, Kerine

I am experiencing difficulty accessing my Hotmail account. Despite multiple attempts to recover my account, I am swiftly informed that my request has been denied. This email address is linked to my Apple ID, and I am hesitant to create a new account. Regrettably, I am also locked out of my Apple ID. I remember having three passwords for this email address, but none seem to work. Occasionally, I am prompted to add an extra character, leading to confusion. I recall receiving emails from my mother's email address but did not respond to them. Accessing an email I have not used since 2[redacted] is proving challenging. I primarily use an email provided by my workplace. I have attached some historical email interactions for verification purposes. My phone number and recovery email seem unfamiliar, potentially due to possible inaccuracies during the account creation. The email address in question is [redacted] I am Christopher Johnson, known as Chris, born on April 29, [redacted], residing in BC, Canada. I possess a driver's license for identity verification. Your assistance in regaining access to my account would be greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon, I forgot the password for my email account [redacted] I didn't update my phone number or add a recovery account.

I've been using my email account [redacted] for over a decade. On my birthday, September 18th, the account was locked due to suspicious activity, and despite entering my correct password, I'm unable to recover it.

Everything from my utilities, bank, to even Facebook is linked to [redacted] I urgently need access back to this email as all my crucial information is stored there.

My email account has been compromised, and I am struggling to find a way to report it. Various authorities I contacted, like the police, local police department, and even the KBI Office, were unable to assist promptly. The Attorney General's Office was also unavailable. Unfortunately, my family and friends have received fraudulent emails claiming I am stranded in London and need money sent via Western Union. I have lost contact with some of them as their email addresses were stored in the stolen account. It has been challenging to locate a platform to warn others about the scam that targeted me. The fraudulent email I received, posing as "Hotmail," requested my data under the guise of updating the program, leading to the compromise of my account. Despite extensive searching, I found it challenging to address this issue effectively. It is essential to have a streamlined process for reporting email scams, especially when the account has already been hacked. Many suggestions direct individuals to access the help tab in their email account, which becomes impossible once access is lost along with crucial evidence of the scam.

Hello! I usually use my email account: [redacted] However, when I try to log in now, it prompts me to verify my identity by entering the last 4 digits of my mobile number. The issue is that the number displayed is an old one. I no longer have access to that number. My new number is +[redacted]06. I need to update my mobile number to receive the verification message, but I can't do that without access to my account. Could you please change my mobile number to the new one so I can access my old emails? Thank you, Marco W.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I did not change my password, but when I try to log in, I am unable to access my accounts linked to my Hotmail, including Facebook. Unfortunately, I can't retrieve the necessary codes for Facebook as I'm unable to sign in to my Hotmail account. Moreover, the recovery number on file is not mine, causing me to unintentionally access another Facebook account when entering the received code. This situation is perplexing since I did not update my password. I am hopeful that you can assist me in resolving this issue. Thank you.

I was informed about three weeks ago of possible unauthorized use of my account. I was advised to change my password, which I decided to do. However, after following all the password change suggestions and attempting to confirm my identity, I kept receiving an error message stating, "there is a temporary problem, please try again later." This continued for a week until I was ultimately locked out of my account. I am now unable to access any help, including the Community Forum. A similar issue occurred in the past when I tried to add Outlook to my phone, becoming frustrated after a week of unsuccessful attempts. The lack of customer service support is concerning, as I was directed to create a new Outlook account when seeking assistance. This issue needs to be resolved promptly. Thank you, Roger L.

My email inbox is not displaying all the messages I receive, even from long-term contacts. Despite checking spam and junk folders, important emails are missing. I can only find them through search. Some emails from contacts in my address book end up in junk, even after marking them as not junk. Strangely, emails from a specific contact, like Robert Martin, appear in different folders simultaneously. Additionally, several emails with important information have vanished from my inbox.

Hello! I'm reaching out because I'm experiencing an issue. I'm trying to access my Hotmail account "[redacted]" Unfortunately, accessing it requires identity verification, which I'm unable to complete. The phone number associated with the account is outdated, belonging to my late father from almost a decade ago when I was too young to have my own phone. Previously, I didn't encounter this verification process, but now that I'm studying abroad in Canada, I'm facing it. I've attempted to use the automatic recovery form suggested by your team multiple times, but the requests are too specific for the purposes I had for my account. While not very active, this account was used to register for services like Facebook and Minecraft that I still use today. I'm at a standstill. Is there any solution available to me?

Hello, I am reaching out about an issue I am experiencing with accessing my Hotmail account "[redacted]". I am unable to log in without undergoing an identity verification process that I am unable to complete. The phone number associated with the account belongs to my late father from nearly a decade ago when I was too young to have my own phone. This verification process has become necessary since I moved to Canada for my studies. I have attempted to use the automatic recovery form provided by your support team multiple times, but the required details are too specific for the account's previous level of activity. Although not heavily used, this account is linked to services like Facebook and Minecraft that I still rely on. I am currently at a standstill. Is there any solution available?
