To recover your Hotmail account, especially if you're facing issues with password changes and access denial due to multiple attempts, you can follow these steps:
- Use the Password Reset Portal: Go to the Password reset portal and initiate a password reset. This is the first step to regain access to your account.
- Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR): If your account has self-service password reset enabled, you will be prompted to verify your identity using registered security methods before changing your password. If you do not have access to these methods, you may need to contact your IT administrator or support.
- Contact Support: If the automated support does not resolve your issue, you may need to reach out to Microsoft support directly for assistance. Look for a contact option that allows you to speak with a human representative.
- Account Recovery: If you have lost access to all authentication methods, consider using Microsoft Entra ID Account Recovery, which provides a robust identity verification process to regain access.
If you continue to experience issues, it may be beneficial to check the support documentation for further troubleshooting steps or to find the appropriate contact for your region.
