Windows 10: Unable to log into account

I am unable to log into my account. I enter my password and I receive a message stating that the password has been entered incorrectly to many times and your account is locked, try again later. I try to change my password and I am given two security options, send a security code via email, and the email listed is not mine and not on the account. The other option is to send the security code via text. I enter the last 4 digits of my phone number and click send. The security code never arrives. I receive no text from Microsoft of any kind. I have tried to reach Microsoft via telephone so

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!
