My friend lost her internet connection. We contacted her ISP to fix it, but when her computer was restarted, there was an issue with her Windows PIN. She believed she knew it, but the field only accepted numeric characters.
Upon clicking "change my password," the system indicated that Microsoft would email her to facilitate changing her password. Despite trying several times, she never received the email.
As a result, she remains unable to fully access her computer.

I am feeling very frustrated and upset because my email account has been blocked for more than a week now. I can't access the necessary support online or by phone. I rely on my email for work, housing, bills, and more. Despite trying the account recovery process and providing all the information I can, I am still locked out. I would greatly appreciate being provided with an email address or phone number to speak with someone directly.

My Microsoft Office account got hacked, and I got locked out. I couldn't access the email address I used as my username because the hacker changed the password. My internet provider, Cox Internet, no longer provides email services, so my account is closed. Despite being charged for another year's subscription, I can't use it because of the invalid username and inaccessible email. I can't even receive user codes from Microsoft as the email is invalid. I have an updated subscription I can't use. Microsoft advised me to visit the web address AKA.MS/PWR to resolve the issue, but I'm unsure of what to do.

I recently encountered a pin error message on my computer stating: “Something happened and your PIN isn’t available. Click to set up your PIN again.” Upon clicking “set up my PIN,” I was redirected to sign into an old disabled high school account that I can no longer access. This has left me with no means to access my computer. I am considering taking it to a Microsoft store for assistance; however, I have found that all the stores in my state appear to be permanently closed on Google Maps. Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I am having trouble signing in to my computer. When I enter my password, the system keeps saying it's incorrect. Sometimes when I try to type it in, the password field remains blank. My husband created his account, which I believe may have accidentally removed me from the account and replaced it with his name. I've been struggling with this for about four hours trying to resolve it. If someone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

My Hotmail account has been locked/suspended, and I've attempted to create a new Outlook account to communicate with Microsoft, but now both accounts have vanished from my mobile phone. I reached out to CDOC case manager SIR [redacted]0 who provided me with a form to complete. Unfortunately, I struggled to answer the questions honestly and truthfully. I mainly dealt with a large volume of junk mail, removing or reporting phishing attempts. I am a 70-year-old retiree who only uses email for online purchases. I've created a new Gmail account, unsure if it will serve as a good point of contact. My accounts include [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted]

I purchased a game pass and was charged for it, but then it was cancelled without my knowledge. I didn't have access the next day and still got charged. I've been attempting to reach out to Microsoft support for days but only encounter automated responses, which is incredibly frustrating. I was excited to play with my son on Father's Day, but this issue prevented us from doing so. Please contact me to help resolve this matter. Thank you and god bless.

I'm having trouble connecting to my wifi. I can't even see the network options. I've attempted to reset the network and all my drivers are up to date. When I run diagnostics, it indicates the Diagnostic Policy Service is the issue. I've tried numerous repairs found through online searches to resolve this but nothing has worked. I don't have an Ethernet cable and my phone and MacBook are connecting fine to the wifi. Resetting the router and trying IP fixes through administrative configurations have also been unsuccessful. All I want is to be able to use the wifi.

Whenever I utilize a VPN along with a secure browser or the Windows 11 Thunderbird email program, Hotmail sends a security alert to the email address provided and restricts my access. There seems to be no available method to reach out to Microsoft. I only have a Microsoft email address because it is necessary with Windows 11, which unfortunately came installed on my refurbished laptop after the period to revert to Windows 10 expired.
As I consistently use a VPN with either Bluemail AOSP, Thunderbird on Windows, or a secure browser that is not Edge, Chrome, or Firefox, I am looking for a solution to prevent my account from being blocked. I implement lengthy random passwords and a password manager; however, Microsoft's security measures appear to be inadequate, leading to access issues instead of effective protection.

I'm attempting to configure a new laptop but encountered an issue accessing my Outlook account. I received multiple security codes via my mobile number and email, along with a backup recovery code. After creating a new password on my iPhone, I attempted to sign in but was notified of an incorrect password. Despite trying the Authenticator app, I was unsuccessful. Upon using the recovery code, which I had just received from Microsoft, it was deemed incorrect. This account has two-step verification, and I am currently unable to regain access.

I have a business account with Microsoft Business. I got logged out and am attempting to log back in to use Word. Despite trying, I keep receiving an error message saying I can't log in because another person from my organization is logged in, even though no one else has used my computer. I attempted to delete the associated entries in Keychain Access as instructed, but when I click delete, nothing occurs. I require assistance to log back in and access my account.

Yesterday, I experienced a bothersome pop-up issue on my computer. The persistent pop-up cover nearly half of my screen and kept reappearing every few minutes when I tried to close it. Despite being 74 years old and not very skilled with computers, I suspected it was related to Bing as it displayed recent searches and news on the side. Seeking help, I contacted Microsoft support and was connected to a company called 24/7 Techies, who claimed to be a Microsoft Partner. I paid $[redacted].99 for a one-year contract with them. They resolved the pop-up issue, installed an ad blocker, and worked on my computer remotely for approximately 30 minutes. However, since their intervention, I have started receiving scam emails, including requests for ransom. These emails, like one promising $[redacted] in PayPal, remain unopened in my inbox. Before addressing these new issues with 24/7 Techies, I want to confirm if they are indeed a legitimate and authorized Microsoft Partner. Thank you.
