    Locked out of Microsoft account


    Hey all,

    So I have seen some other posts regarding this issue but nothing so far has worked. Here is my issue:

    About a year ago or so, Xbox Live made the unfortunate choice of asking me to verify my account with my Microsoft information. I had created the account several years earlier using my email account from college. You can probably see where this is going.
    So naturally, I ended up locked out of my Microsoft account. I have tried every option with them, to include filling out the online recovery form several times. The email address has not be active for over two years, so clearly I don't have access to any
    of my recent emails, etc... Another thing I believe is hurting me is the fact that my address changed several times in a few years, and I'm not quite sure which one is correct. For all I know, the only accurate info going in is name, birthday, and security
    question. I am now at the point where filling out the form returns a "Final Update on your account' response.

    Here is the kicker: When I was filling out that form and it was being processed, I would receive one of two emails in response. The first is that not enough accurate information was provided. The second, however, informed me that Microsoft could not deal
    with a .edu account. Nowhere in that second email did it say there was too little info. So what I believe is going on is that when I get the email about the .edu account, I have in fact provided enough information, but for some weird reason Microsoft can't
    help. Which makes no sense. It is THEIR account. I have called my former institution and no one has ever heard of having to do anything to a Microsoft account.

    Basically I'm looking for answers. Has anyone gone through this and can you remember what info you provided for it to count as "enough"? Has anyone talked to someone on the phone who could actually help them with this? I am currently working an email
    chain with the escalation agents and am really getting nowhere. Sure I could create a new account but like most other people I have stuff on this one that I would really like to keep. Thanks in advance for the help (hopefully).

    :)

    Microsoft Account - Locked Out

    So I'm locked out of my XBOX LIve account, because my Microsoft Account thinks that somebody is trying to hack into it.

    The email is [MOD REMOVED]

    My IGN is Preloom

    I created this account a while back to help me recover my account, but it never worked.

    Please post on here to help me fix it, or email me at [MOD REMOVED]

    Microsoft Account Locked Out

    Hello Hadi Kaddouh,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are unable to access your Microsoft account due to a lock that has been placed on the account for suspicious activity. Microsoft has a support article which explains more about why

    accounts get locked
    and how to unlock the account. This article relates to the same message that was posted in your image. Go ahead and try some of the solutions in the article, and be sure to let us know the results!

    Also, I had about 4k microsoft points. Before the change.

    (Yes, it's been that long, about 6 months, and Microsoft won't contact me back)

    Locked out of Microsoft Account

    Yes I did, and they told me there is not a phone number for the Microsoft online security team. I just feel like I’m running in circles trying to figure out how to get in touch with someone to unlock this account. I was hoping that someone in the community forum might be able to help direct me or perhaps someone from the Microsoft security team monitors these forums to help get in touch with someone.
