How do I access my original hotmail account!

18. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Hotmail Account, Microsoft account, Microsoft Account password
When I try to access www.hotmail.com it gives me the login for outlook and says 'enter your microsoft account password'

I enter my hotmail username and password and it says

'That password is incorrect. Be sure you're using the password for your Microsoft account.'

I dont have a microsoft account. I have a HOTMAIL ACCOUNT which Ive had since 1997 (before microsoft owned it)

I just NEED to login to my hotmail

I set up a microsoft account and now it just takes me to that without allowing me any way of seeing my original hotmail account.

I JUST NEED TO GET INTO MY HOTMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!


Microsoft Account corruption?

18. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft account

I have a strange situation that In have been unable to resolve and suspect that the issue is with my Microsoft account, which prevents me from working with my organisational account (Office364 plan Education A2).


A few days ago my Sync client for Skydrivepro stopped synchronising. It was no longer possible to edit documents from the sync client or directly from skydrive pro. (Either permissions issues or path issues). (Editing from skydrive works fine)


Strangely this issue flowed through my domain connected machine (Window 8 and Office 2013), my personal laptop (Windows 8 and Office 2013) and Surface RT. None of these machines have been able to edit documents in skydrive pro.

Working on my domain computer, we reimaged the machine, but as soon as the Microsoft Account is connected to any service skydrive pro syncing ceases to work.


I created a new profile on my personal laptop with a new Microsoft account. Synching with skydrive pro works as does editing of documents in skydrivepro.


I am reluctant to discard my Microsoft account as I have used this email for many years. It would appear that there is some form of corruption in the account. Is there some way of testing the integrity of the Microsoft account?

windows 8.1 local account disappeared

17. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account

When I upgraded it asked me to create a Microsoft account but I assumed that this would be a new account and one that I would not need to use so I did not need one and put junk information in.  I then found out that this information had been used to change MY OLD LOCAL ACCOUNT to some online Microsoft one.  I now cannot log into that account as I do not know the password I entered or the junk telephone number i entered.  I do not want an online account but mostly I want to be able to access my old files on this computer.  As it is no longer a local account I cannot change its password on my PC.  There need to be a lot of warnings that your local account is going to become an online one.

I assume if I create a new local account with the same name as the old local account this will not miraculously give me access to my old files?

This is a shambles and by far the worst Windows upgrade I have done.


Why should I be forced to have a Microsoft account when I did not before hand?

How to find back a deleted microsoft account?

17. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft account
I deleted my original microsoft account accidently and now hope to find it back. I need it log in my Windows 8 and my Skydrive. Please help me.
Also my original microsoft account used a gmail address instead of live.com, so even i tried to recreate it by the same mail address I was told to wait for a month.

Unable to retrieve mail using Mail App on Surface RT.

17. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Mail application, Microsoft account
Hello, I'm having a little issue with getting My Surface RT mail app to display my emails.
 
I've login with a Microsoft account provided by my school. It's the only Microsoft account that I used. I expected my email to appear as soon as I trust this PC and login under my account, However this is not the case. The Mail app simply states there are no mails despite whatever settings I have tweaked.
 
I suspect that this has to do with the fact our school email has switched to 365 from outlook, which we previously used. If that is the case, does it means I am completely unable to use the mail application to access my emails? Is there a workaround or a separate application to accommodate my needs?
 
Much Appreciated.

Impossible to recover blocked account

17. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account
Hi,

I can't recover my hotmail account. First didn't remember my password so they blocked it.

I have submitted now 3 forms and the last one says...
We recently received a request to recover your Microsoft account. Unfortunately, we were unable to verify your ownership of this account using the information you provided.

I am desperate... 
I created this email account more than 10 years ago and not sure which information I gave and in between I changed 3 countries. I might even have given back then a fake birth date.

Could you please help me to recover my account I can give you as many proofs as you want even read you the last emails I can see on my iphone?
I am waiting for important emails and this is my main email address for people to contact me.

I contacted the Microsoft technical team and they said to me they can 't help, I should keep submitting form.
Do you know an email address that I can send my request? When I reply to the email Microsoft sent me it bounces back saying 

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***


Thanks heaps in advance for helping me and unblock my account.

Cheers,

Belle

Error code 1086 when trying to add an alias

16. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: hotmail, microsoft, Microsoft account
34 days ago, I deleted a Microsoft account with custom e-mail address (no Hotmail).  
Now I am trying to add the e-mail address as Account alias to a Hotmail Microsoft account, using https://account.live.com/AddAssocId.
I mark “Add an existing email address,” enter it, and click on the Verify link inside my Gmail inbox for the address.
What I get then is https://account.live.com/error.aspx?errcode=1086, stating “There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.”

Adding a different e-mail address (that has never been a Microsoft account on its own) works, including verify link.

The Microsoft account is incorrect

My account name is definitely O.K. (I have a certificate of registration in my e-mail box). I need to put into operation this account and reset passwords! Help please ! thanks
