I have been trying to get microsoft to unlock my account.  The reason why is this account is what i used for some forum registration.  I need to see which forum is tied to this account. 

Instead of helping-  Below is the email from microsoft.  Basically telling me "screw you" all in name of protecting my information.  I failed to understand how locking my account with my personal information in it is helping me to wipe the record clean?  How will open a new account help me?  Final?  

Your security is important to us

Recently, we received several requests to gain access to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Unfortunately, we were unable to verify your ownership using the information that was provided. Microsoft takes the security and privacy of our customers very seriously. We are committed to protecting your personal information, and our careful account recovery process is intended to protect you from any possible malicious activity.

Now what?
Because there have been multiple unsuccessful recovery attempts for this account, we recommend at this point that you create a new account. It's quick and easy, and we have tools to help you import contacts, connect with Facebook, and even receive messages from multiple email accounts.

     Open a new account

With a new account, you’ll be able to use the following services across all of your devices:

  • Best-in-class email with unlimited storage at lightning speed and serious security.
  • Stay connected with friends and family, see social updates and chat with Facebook friends, and make ordinary moments memorable with video calls.
  • Free online storage for thousands of docs and photos, shared your way.

Don’t get locked out again
Once you create a new account, we highly recommend you update your password reset information with a phone number or alternate email address. This will make it easier for you to gain access to your account in the future if you are locked out again.

Look at forum moderator response.  Has any of them really follow the link and see how confusing that is?  Pointing to a link that does not solve actual problem.

How classic is this?  Going around in circle.  I can't reset my account because information has been totally changed.  The reference email address is not even my email address.   WHICH PART OF ISSUE I NEED TO EXPLAIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN.  Account is hacked.  I want my account back so i can wipe clean.  No wonder Microsoft has been going downhill.  Because of infinite loop.
