Windows 10: Wrong log in email

My son was trying to guess my email to sign into Microsoft on his gaming PC but the email was entered incorrectly. Now I can’t get into the PC because I don’t have access to this wrong email he put in. How do I change the log in email??

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!

 

User account now has wrong microsoft email tied to it

Hello vexorg,

You might check using step 3 in Option Two of the tutorial below to see if your son's email is listed under your "Email & app accounts". If so, deleting it will remove it.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Answer Community.

Windows Live Mail is not supported in Windows 10 although we have Windows Mail app for Windows 10 as a mail client. To isolate the issue or get a clear picture about the Wrong name and phone number update on the profile we would
like to have the screenshot of the page where the wrong information is listed. Please hide all the Personal Identity information.

Please help us with the screenshot of the page in the application, where you are seeing the wrong information. Follow the steps mentioned in the

screenshot posted by Shawn ‘Cmdr’ Keene on Oct 2, 2015 to post the screenshot.

However, let us also try few steps and see if it helps.

1. In the lower-left corner of Windows Live Mail, click
   Mail.
   
2. Click the Accounts tab, and then click
   Email.
   
3. Type your email address, password, and display name, and then click
   Next.
   
4. Follow any additional steps, and then click
   Next.
   
5. Click Finish to start using Windows Live Mail.
   

Hope it helps.
