  1. Someone in another country signed in my account.


    I've had 10 "unsuccessful" account login attempts, from countries ranging from Pakistan to Russia in the past week or so.

    Just yesterday one attempt was "successful" from Russia supposedly. I assume these attempts were all from the same person who knows how to change their IP for location as these attempts are all in a short space of time which I've never had anyone attempt before.


    I need to know how to report this and can anything be done, I reset my password but is it too late? will this person have information they could use?

    :)

    Cannot sign in microsoft account.

    My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
    I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
    and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6. Someone in another country signed in my account. :(

    sign into microsoft account glitch

    Hi Micheal,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Is this the only account on the computer?
    • Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

    It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
    • Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
