    Can't recieve code because of landline phone, and I have sent mistakenly a security change I want to cancel

    Hello

    - Was in ms store, I did not realized the asked 'PIN' was my windows pin from login screen. So I entered the 'forgotten pin' loop.
    - Having a landline I could not recieve the verif code sent by MS to continue the 'forgotten pin' process.
    - Then I thought that adding an alternate email would somehow allow me to recieve the code or at least to proceed further.

    - Then it entered that 'security change pending wait 30 days' thing.

    - I don't want my main windows account email to be replaced by the alternate I entered.

    - I can't cancel the 'security change pending' because if I click on cancel I can't recieve the verif code on landline phone, I don't see other alternative.

    - Of course, I realised afterwards that the origin of all this could have been avoided if I had just entered my windows login password/PIN.

    - Bottom line, I would like to cancel the 'security change pending' and avoid any inconvenience caused by this account email change.

    please, and thank you!
