    How to change a Microsoft email login when you no longer have access to the original email...


    Upon getting another boring Microsoft operating system for a desktop computer several years ago, the system made me create a login to streamline everything ya know in Windows sign-in. Well, that *aol* e-mail address was terminated not long after and I've been trying to figure out how to change my Microsoft login email WITHOUT access to the original email. Why can you can change the backup security email but not the main e-mail address for your system when you don't have access to it? Why has the system allowed me to wait 30 days to have this supposed info updated 6 times only for it not

    :)

    User account info lost after changing login email



    How to change a Microsoft email login when you no longer have access to the original email... 40337d1485957652t-user-account-info-lost-after-changing-login-email-snip_20150930112542.png


    I recently changed my main Microsoft account login email and after doing so, all my 10 machines no longer show my name on the login screen (shows my email address twice) or in the Start menu (only shows the email address) and as you can see in the above screenshot, permissions no longer show as my login and email address.

    Things I've done so far to try and correct it:
    1. Change my account to local login, then back to my Microsoft login, which temporarily corrected it, but then after a few restarts, the info gets lost again
    2. Manually added my name in Computer Management > System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Users... this fixed it, but again, only until a restart
    Has anyone else experienced something like this and no of a way to correct it (and make it stick)?

    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.
