  1. Why can’t I recover my account?


    My account just got hacked from someone in Germany. I can’t recover my account, as it won’t send the confirmation code, although my email is 100% correct. It says when I check that the account is locked for too many password attempts, but I know exactly what the password is. I gave all the info I could, as I only ever logged into Microsoft and never used it on Xbox, for email, or any other thing, I belive only on windows, I just can’t have someone else take control of my information. Why didn’t it just not allow the other person to log in? I know the exact address to the point the account was
