  1. Unable to reset Microsoft Password


    The resetting process stops at the point where one is asked to enter a birthdate. The error message is "enter a valid date". It is as though, when my original account was set up an incorrect date was entered.

    I have worked 6 hours over the past 2 weeks, under two different Case Numbers and made four telephone calls for assistance. Twice I have been promised escalation of my case and never have heard back from anyone at a higher level of authority to reset my password. Additionally, I called the Boston Retail Store and was routed back to the routine technical assistance area.

    Has anyone experienced this and found a way to contact Microsoft - preferably in North America - that offers a solution.

    As it stand now, I am receiving notices from Microsoft Billing to update my credit card; I am a "stranded" customer.

    :)

  4. Unable to reset Microsoft Password

    Microsoft Account Password Reset

    Thanks for the reply, but it does not help me. The website does not proceed past step 4. After entering the security code, the website does not proceed to step 5. It does not give an error message, it simply greys out the next and cancel buttons and hangs
    indefinitely.

    Reset your password

    If you can't remember your password, follow these steps to get into your account.

    • Go to the Reset your password page.
    • Choose the reason you need your password reset, then click Next.
    • Enter the email address you used when you made your Microsoft account. This could be any email address, or an email ending in a Microsoft domain like hotmail.com or outlook.com.
    • Enter the characters you see on the screen (this lets us know you’re not a robot), then click Next.
    • If you've added security info to your account, we'll send a one-time code to the alternate phone number or email address you gave us. After you enter that code on the next screen, you'll be able to make a new password.
    I'll try your "Get account help by email" suggestion and post the solution here when I've found one.
