  1. Can’t sign into another account


    Hi I would really love some help on this because I went through 3 Microsoft support employees who were completely useless.

    My issue is that my brother got a pc yesterday, I wanted to make another user so I could have one as well and when I add my email it says that it needs to connect to the internet to finish even though I am connected.

    No options to switch users when the main account is signed out show up, tried making a local account and nothing shows up. please comment if you’ve had this issue and what could be done to fix it.

  2. Creating or signing in to microsoft account

    Hi Gloria,

    The error code that your are getting when adding an account is usually caused by the following:

    • Your phone has an incorrect date and time set.
    • You do not have a data connection.
    • Your phone is in a "bad state."
    We suggest that you follow the steps on this link to set up your Microsoft
    Account on your device.

    Keep us posted for further assistance.

    Regards.

    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. Can’t sign into another account :(

    Any suggestion?
