  1. Keep getting email with password reset codes


    I keep getting email from Microsoft with a password reset code. I wasn't trying to login and these emails are sent in the middle of the night. Obviously some scammer got my email address and are trying to get into my account. I changed my Microsoft password last week but I'm still getting these scam emails. I suppose the only way to stop them is to change my email address, right? Grrrr!Microsoft accountPassword reset codePlease use this code to reset the password for the Microsoft account *******@hotmail.com.

    :)

  2. Hacker Keeps resetting my Live email password.

    I think he is trying hard to get to my Steam account again. Like I added in my first post I had a password reset for steam email.

    And last time he did it I had several password reset emails in my live before (I suppose) he got it to work.

    Now I don't even feel like my gmail is safe. I have it set up for Phone SMS and 2 step verification. Although I think he is having a hard time with my gmail.

    HOW IS HE DOING IT!

  3. Hacker Keeps resetting my Live email password.

    I don't know how this guy is managing it but he keeps resetting my password in live.

    I had a backup email trough gmail and he changed that too

    so then my gmail had a back email to aol and so I reset my gmail then I was able to reset my live.

    Next morning he reset my live again! I manged to get it back by using gmail again to reset it which oddly enough he didn't reset my gmail password this time.

    I have now since used a an extremmmmmleeey long password generated at random for live to see if that keeps him out.

    The scary thing is I have a totally unrelated other gmail account. Guess what I find in the deleted folder of my live account. A reset password email for my STEAM CONFIRMED TOTALLY UNRELATED TO OTHER EMAILS EMAIL ACCOUNT! It was all in dutch too with link (I didn't click on the links though). How did he figure that one out? Thankfully my secure steam gmail account hasn't had its password reseted yet.

    How is this guy doing this? My password were strong. I suppose i'll see if he gets in now with this new pass.

    Keep in mind this is a fresh reformat and my Firewall from my router is on.

    I've done scans anyway and everything is clean.

    EDIT: I'd also like to add I had a password reset email from steam in my gmail account. But I did not have my password reset for either my gmail or steam.

    Microsoft Account Password Reset

    Thanks for the reply, but it does not help me. The website does not proceed past step 4. After entering the security code, the website does not proceed to step 5. It does not give an error message, it simply greys out the next and cancel buttons and hangs
    indefinitely.

    Reset your password

    If you can't remember your password, follow these steps to get into your account.

    • Go to the Reset your password page.
    • Choose the reason you need your password reset, then click Next.
    • Enter the email address you used when you made your Microsoft account. This could be any email address, or an email ending in a Microsoft domain like hotmail.com or outlook.com.
    • Enter the characters you see on the screen (this lets us know you’re not a robot), then click Next.
    • If you've added security info to your account, we'll send a one-time code to the alternate phone number or email address you gave us. After you enter that code on the next screen, you'll be able to make a new password.
    I'll try your "Get account help by email" suggestion and post the solution here when I've found one.
