  1. Locked out of account and can't recover


    My microsoft account had an attempted hack a few months ago so microsoft have locked my account to verify it's me. I'm writing this from my work account. The only issue is, I haven't got enough information to verify it's me. My back up email I have lost access to as it was my first email made by my parents and we no longer know the password, I have only used skype once a few years ago and don't remember any of my contacts. I have't used any other microsoft services or purchased anything from them so can't be verified in that way. I need to get back into this account so I can get into my one drive. I also have an old school account I need to remove from my laptop that I am seemingly unable to do. Any help?

    :)

  3. Recover your account

    Hi Laurie,

    This can be due to the changes made to your device.

    We'd like to ask the exact error message you are getting. Is it Recover your account or
    Recover your Microsoft account?

    If your answer is the latter, you may perform the steps listed in this article. Make sure to read
    Before you begin then start following the steps under Fill out the recovery form.

    We look forward to your response.

    Restore local account ?

    Hi,

    We apologize for not being able to address your concern in a timely manner.

    I would suggest you to check if your old account is displayed in the list of Manage Accounts.

    Follow the below steps to check:

    • Right click on the Start button and select
      Control Panel
      .
    • Click on the User Accounts.
    • Click on Manage Accounts and check if you are able to view your old account.
    If you’re old account is not present in the Manage Accounts list then, you may not be able to recover the old account. If you’re old account is present in the Manage Accounts list then you can find that account on the bottom left
    corner on the Lock screen.

    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
