Windows 10: Change email adress on account

Hi I have a problem too change my e.mail adress on my account. The adress that i use in my account is deleted and i can not change too my new adress? Could you please help ? Best regards Inge H hagen

Changed Microsoft account email adress, can't login to PC

So I changed my email adress (added a new one, changed to primary and removed the old one) for my Microsoft account using my laptop. Everything worked fine there.

Now I want to log in to my desktop machine and it won't let me because it's still linked to my old email adress. Requesting a password change does not work since it just resets the password for my laptop, but not my desktop.

All my previous passwords do not work either.

I got access to the machine as administrator via some cmd trickery but I still want to log in to my "old" account obviously.

Any suggestions?

Can I somehow change the email adress registered to this "local microsoft account" to link it up with my actual one?

//Edit:

This is weird. I just tried to convert the local account I created to a Microsoft account using my new email adress and I couldn't because "This account is already in use on this PC" or something. So it HAS a reference to my new email adress but it won't
let me sign in with my current OR old password.

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!
