    How do i fix a locked out account?


    Every time i try to log into my account after a few days, it wont let me log in. It says that my account has been locked out, someone used the incorrect password too many times and tried to log in, or using a organization to use or whatever. Are there any fix for this?

    :)

    How do i fix a locked out account?

    Hi T, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

    T, I am very sorry that this has happened to you, I hope you can recover your account through the only method available to Microsoft, If your account was blocked by excessive login attempts, it is recommended to wait between 24 to 48 hours until you try to log in again, if it is still blocked you must follow the steps indicated in the official link below.

    https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/a...

    Please note that this is only a public forum, I will respond to you in a short period of time within the possible apologizing in advance for any delay in response. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.

    Account locked out, what do I do?

    Hello, I do not have 2-step on and I have tried the reinstatement form twice, both automatically declined. And they were about ~20 minutes apart, on two emails I use, but it appears Microsoft staff doesn't read it or they just do not wish to help me. (Hopefully not that part.)

    I tried multiple times but my Microsoft account is banned/blocked for reasonings I do not understand, I have broken no rules, or anything against TOS. It has been around ~3 months now since I have been locked out, I sent every detail I knew in the recovery forms which are spot on. But they automatically decline it, even when I try to request a chat, it always says it's unavailable. As I spent around 5 hours today waiting and waiting to speak with a Live Agent on chats. But to no avail.

    It seems I have caught a dud.

    Account locked out, what do I do?

    Hi Paul! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Microsoft account.

    I'm afraid the only option to recover a Microsoft account is through the account recovery webform (ACSR).

    https://account.live.com/ACSR?uaid=eadbff0c96ce4ed9935b7d36f1670425

    According to a User Myke Ylaya who posted instructions on how to submit a recovery request via the account recovery web form: https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/56a5a7e6-c569-4a7f-8d6a-eb8a1355e34d

    "You will also need an active alternate email where you can be contacted.

    Note: Try to fill out the form on where you frequently use or usually sign in your account.

    After submitting the request, you will be contacted on your contact alternate email within 24 hours. You will receive a reset password link that will take you back access to your account."

    Note: If your account has 2-step verification feature enabled, the account recovery webform will not work.

    However since you mentioned your account was locked, do you mean your account might be locked due to suspicious/unusual activity? If yes, you will have to unblock your account first by submitting an account reinstatement form:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/concern/AccountReinstatement

    Once your account is unblocked, you can try to recover your account again through the account recovery webform.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    there was a problem, and we couldn't continue (0x80a40008)

    Seriously, how do I fix this? Will calling support help? Probably not. I've spent nearly $1000 dollars on this thing when you include game prices and I can't use it because my name was inappropriate. This is theft. I'm locked out of my account because of
    my name. Thanks, Microsoft.
