  1. Locked out of computer because of Microsoft 30 day wait


    Im unable to do anything since in order to log into my computer its making me set up a pin and in order to set up a pin i need to log into Microsoft yet i dont have the number linked to it anymore so i requested to change it. The page has updated since and now it says “your security info change is still pending” so i need to wait the thirty days and the only option is to cancel which repeats the entire process.. i need this computer for my school ive already went one day without my computer and got a zero for everything that was due today is there anyway i can fix this???

  2. 30 day wait?

    Hi,

    I gave my Lumia 920 to my son to use, with the idea that I'll be able to activate Family Safety on the phone as I did on his tablet. I reset the phone and started to enter his Outlook.com credentials for the Microsoft account. But when the verification is
    done, it still wants to send the verification code to my cell number - and not his. I made sure that his SIM card is used, but it insisted to send the verification to my number. When I changed the security info to his number, it said that I'll have to wait
    30 days for the change to take affect.

    I understand some of the logic behind the 30 day wait, but for two reasons it's totally impractical in my case:

    1. I have control over the phone and accounts, so I should be able to decide what to active and when - not the system.

    2. My son can only use the phone when I can monitor his internet access - he now has to wait 30 days before that can happen - total waste!

    Sorry, the 30 days waiting period is standard for security info changes and you will have to wait it out.

    Locked out of computer because of Microsoft 30 day wait

    Hotmail account locked - I have to wait 30 days to get the reset link

    Hello All,

    I have been using my hotmail account since 22 years. I had setup 2 step verification to my account. I recently forgot my password and while trying to reset my password, the system prompted me to enter last 4 digits of my call number. I received a text message
    with a pin to enter, I have entered the pin and a window popped up asking me to specify the second step account verification without listing the second verification in the popped up window. I am curious that when I setup the 2 step verification
    I am SURE that I did add one of my other email id as the second step verification. So, I used the last option to reach out to MS account security team to send me a password reset link to one of my other email id. I am stuck now for 30 days now.

    I requested MS account security to reset my password on 6/2/20.

    Can someone please answer whether I have to wait until 7/2 to get the reset password link to my other email id to will I get it earlier than 30 days?

    And, how does the accountprotection.microsoft.com team communicate back to me?

    Thanks and Regards,
