Windows 10: A code for a non-existent account

I need to add security info for my account. After I put my password, they will send a code. The problem is that it's sending the code to an account I can't recover. When I tried to go to the account on outlook, it says it does not exist. I try recovering it with a code but I can't find the code. I try to recover the account with the form, but it says it does not exist. Is there a way I can make it send a code to an account I do have?

Activity Reporting error non-existent device

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that a non-existent device is showing in the activity reporting. As you have mentioned that you have removed the device from Manage device limits for all family accounts, I suggest you to try removing the device from the child account
and check if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Login to
   https://login.live.com with the child account.
   
2. Click on Devices.
   
3. Click on show details for the device that is non-existing.
   
4. Click on More actions.
   
5. Click on Remove PC.
   
6. Click on I’m ready to remove this PC and click on
   Remove.
   

Hope it helps.



Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
