I cannot access my Hotmail account. I have forgotten my password, and it has been a while since I last logged in. Recently, I discovered that my Facebook account is linked to this email, and now I'm unable to log into my Facebook account because the verification code is sent to my Hotmail email. I have attempted to answer the security questions to reset the password, but it has not worked. If there is an alternative method to regain access to my Hotmail account, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

I was logged out of my Hotmail account on my mobile device. I am unable to sign in because I forgot my password for the email address ([redacted]) and my recovery mobile number is outdated.

I am experiencing a severe issue with my Microsoft account that I have held for approximately 20 years, and I am in urgent need of a resolution.
Today, my Microsoft account, [redacted], has become inaccessible. I have attempted all possible online solutions to no avail.
The problem arose when my personal Microsoft account (mentioned above) became entangled with my work email, causing concern. While trying to remove the mentioned email as an alias from my work device, my account now displays as 'not existing.'
This is deeply troubling as this account has been vital to me for decades, containing important information such as my child's school applications, bills, banking details, critical information I am expecting to receive, and much more.
I desperately require assistance in recovering my [redacted] email address.
Please provide support to help me in my time of distress and find a solution as this has never occurred to me before.
It appears that Microsoft may no longer assist in recovering accounts, but I cannot stress enough how crucial it is for me to regain access. Please, I implore you to help me.
Warm regards,
Kadian

Dear [redacted],
My email has been hacked. I attempted to reactivate it, but all the information I provided wasn't enough to regain access. I can't recall the last three emails I sent, but I did email [redacted] and [redacted], plus I regularly talk to CVA Heinad, although I can't remember the email address. This email address is widely used, and I'm expecting crucial emails. What steps should I take? Would it help if I send a photo of my passport to prove my ownership? Also, could you please advise me on how and from where my email was hacked? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Zoi F.

I received a notification about suspicious activity on my account, asking me to verify using an old phone number and email that I no longer have access to. I tried to reset the password for my old email address but the reset email went to my current email instead. I have an urgent need to access my emails for a meeting and wanted to know if I can verify my identity with my state ID. It's been over 15 years since I created the account, and I can't remember the details I used. I'm confused about how my email was compromised when I've been entering the password correctly. I used a different computer recently and got a new phone, but still couldn't log in. I would appreciate a prompt response as I need access to my emails. Thank you, Diana B.

Hello,
I need your assistance urgently. I will provide as much information as possible. The email address I am trying to access is [redacted] to reach an old Facebook account that I created when I was around 12-14 years old, but now I am 20. I am unsure if I can recover it because I may not remember the exact birth date (06/03/[redacted]) I used. I might have had an emergency account named [redacted] at that time. I can't recall if I linked a phone number, but if I did, it might have been [redacted]6. Additionally, I am not sure about any security questions I set up, but I'm willing to try if there were any. Many of the emails should be associated with my Facebook account under the name Nataly Quinn and various pages I managed. Please help me if possible. Thank you.

I established my email address, [redacted], a long time ago and now I can't remember the details I used during the setup.
This email is linked to my Instagram account under the name Daryl Montrope, which I've been locked out of because Instagram keeps sending password resets to [redacted], but I can't access that email to retrieve them. Therefore, I'm unable to log into my Instagram account.
Since I use Instagram for business, it's crucial that I regain access. Despite trying to verify the account through outlook, I'm told the information I provide isn't enough to prove ownership. Over the years, I mainly used this email to send messages to other accounts or sign up for services. Recently, I haven't used it much, switching to my more professional email, [redacted]
I just need to regain access to my Instagram account, can anyone help me with this dilemma?

Hello,
I need assistance with accessing my Airbnb account. I initially registered using my old email address, [redacted] Now that I am hosting on Airbnb, I am not receiving payout details since I no longer use the Hotmail address. I tried logging back in but forgot the password, leading to my account allegedly being blocked after multiple unsuccessful login attempts and failure to recall security questions.

I believe the Hotmail account belonged to my husband, Clinton van Rensburg, opened about 20 years ago, and we are unable to provide the forgotten security information. Please advise on how I can resolve this urgent matter.
