Windows 10: Need to remove an account from my device and no longer have access to the email associated...

About seven years ago I was bullied out of the business that I had the account under the email address and he will not cooperate with me to give me the code so I could log on and delete it. I no longer remember what passwords were used then to reset it through no longer having access.

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

Issue removing the phantom device from Microsoft Account

Hi W33EES,



Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Answer Community.



Any device that you sign-in with your Microsoft account will be associated with your Microsoft account, and listed under "Your devices" online until you remove the device.

I suggest you to sign into Windows 10 using your Microsoft account and other Microsoft devices, those devices become associated with your account. If you want to remove an old device you’ve gotten rid of, you’ll have to pay a visit to Microsoft’s account
web site. Follow the below steps to remove from Microsoft Account, check if that helps.



Method: Remove Devices from Your Microsoft Account.

1. On your web browser, log into your
   Login.live.com.
   
2. On the top-right corner, you will find a menu named ‘Devices‘. Click on it to further expand it, and then choose ‘Your Devices‘.
   
3. On this page, you will directly have access to all of your linked devices to your Microsoft Account.
   
4. There will be quite a few info about your linked devices.
   
5. Select the option Remove Device.
   
6. Select the “I’m ready to remove this device” check box and then click
   Remove.
   
7. A confirmation page shows you what device you removed and the exact time and date. Click Back to Devices.
   

Removing devices helps ensure that that old devices you no longer use are not capable of accessing your account and that you don’t run into the ten-device limit for installed apps and games. Check if that works.



We await your response.
