    Need Help Recovering Microsoft Account with Forgotten Password and Landline Phone Recovery...


    My dad has forgotten the password for his Microsoft account, which is also the password he uses to log in to his Toshiba laptop. The issue is complex because:Account and Device Details:He’s had the same laptop and Microsoft account for over 10 years and has never changed the password.The account is interconnected with his laptop via Microsoft/Outlook.Attempts to Reset Password:He clicked on "Forgot password," but the recovery options are limited.The account is linked to our home landline phone number used for verification, which cannot receive text messages. This is the only recovery op

    :)

    Unable to sign-in to Microsoft account forgotten password

    Hi,

    Thanks for the Quick response. I will eventually use the suggestions you have given. But for the present I'd like to continue logging into my PC with my PIN. My concern is more with recovering my Widows local user login password, which seems not possible.
    However I have a question to ask MS which I personally think as valid: when both a Password and a PIN are equally valid for successfully logging in to Windows local admin account why only the Password is given credence in the matter of resetting of the login
    Password or creating a password recovery disc? Will MS please respond? Thank you.

    Thanks AYOKANMI for the information, in this case I think the first suggestion really is the most appropriate, please try to follow the step by step to recover your password and try to access again.
