    Locked out of Microsoft account due to too many password reset attempts


    Hello,I recently forgot my Microsoft account password and tried multiple times using the "Forgot Password" option. Each time, I used the suggested strong passwords, but now I’m locked out. My laptop is asking for the Microsoft account password to sign in, but it says "You have tried too many times, try again tomorrow."I want to know:1. Do I have to wait exactly 24 hours, or can I try again after 12:00 AM?2. Is there any way to recover access sooner?3. Will I be permanently locked out if I fail again tomorrow?

    :)
