    I’m unable to access an account I made years ago and stopped using.


    So years ago I made an Microsoft account and it was directly tied with my computer. I stopped using the computer and account altogether years ago, I’m talking 6-7 years ago But recently I’ve rebooted the computer but I’m unable to sign in because I can’t remember the password and the password is my Microsoft account. I’m unable to reset the password because I can’t get into the gmail account either. I tried calling HP Support but their fees are outrageous when I simply wish to reset the password 14.99 monthly plus 35 activation fee or a one time payment of 149.99 Is there anyway that I can

    :)

    gmail accounts stopped syncing

    • Been using the app for over a year. Syncing two accounts. Four days ago one account stopped syncing. NO error messages. If go into settings, accounts cannot access the account settings. This is a slow circle Insider Preview system. On this showing my work
      (20,000+ desktops) will not be recommended to migrate just yet.

  3. Unable to sign in to my account.

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand your concern, in order to get more clarity and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps please reply with the answer to the below question:

    1. Which accounts are you unable to sign in to?
    2. What happens when you try to sign in to your account?
    3. Are you seeing any error messages when you try to sign in to your PC?

    If you are referring to the Microsoft account and if your Microsoft account has been compromised, it means that someone might be using your account to access your personal info or send spam. I suggest use the following guide to
    get back into your account, review your personal info and settings, and help prevent this from happening again. Refer the article on

    How to access a compromised Microsoft account
    and try to reset your password. If the issue still persists you can follow the remaining steps mentioned in the article and check if that helps.

    Regards,
