Hi JoAnn, I understand how inconvenient this has been. From what you described, it sounds like the account might be locked due to too many failed sign-in attempts or missing verification details, which often happens when password resets aren’t completed. Let’s start with the basics: try signing in at outlook.office.com or account.live.com depending on whether it’s a work or personal account. If you can’t get in, use the password reset link and make sure you have access to your recovery email or phone. If those options don’t work, you may need to fill out the account recovery form or contact your admin if it’s a work account. Can you tell me if this is a Microsoft 365 work account or a personal Outlook account, and what error message you see when you try to sign in?
