  1. how to regain access to sensitive account info


    I cant access my account. I finally waited the month to reset my phone number, but I had to sign into microsoft to do something else at the time, so after I reset it and it told me I had to wait another 30 days for it to take affect, I went back to login so I could access my subscriptions. And then, with no warning, without it even ASKING ME, it cancelled the request to change my phone number. Just said it cancelled it. Done. WHY. I need a way to re do the request, because now it has been about three freaking months of me trying to change this stupid phone numbers because of all these security

    :)

    Because you're accessing sensitive info, you need to verify....etc

    Hi Shawn, many thanks for the above. Let's see. The "Because you're accessing sensitive info"-popups tend to show up at random. Sometimes in Excel, sometimes in Outlook.

    BTW...
    On top I am a bit puzzled as to the 'wmic' listing, where I am displayed at the bottom, instead of at the top as administrator.
    Whereas under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts I am listed at administrator.

    Any idea?

    @Brink
    When doing a search on Internet, it seems that this "Because you're accessing sensitive info, you need to verify your password" seems to be a regular occurrence. It has also been discussed in the below thread.
    Account name user name

    At Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts there is only 1 account (me, as administrator, 1 pc only)
    wmic useraccount list full shows following

    In the 1st (administrator) group, name is blank, contrary to local account.

    Frankly, I have no idea as to how to proceed from this point on.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    p.s. Being uncertain about releasing SID numbers I changed them, just for safety sake.

    BTW I see 'Xbox' stuff in the taskmanager and yourphone whatever.
    Neither one I use.

    How to get rid of them?
