Recently I decided to cleanup my contacts across my various accounts.  I now have everyone in my live.com account with just a few in one of my Gmail accounts so I can IM them; they do not use any of the MS accounts.

It took a while but I am able to IM my Google contacts but surprisingly I still cannot IM my contacts who have a Microsoft account.

This happens on both my personal Windows 8 machine and my work Windows 7 machine.  I primarily use Opera but I also use IE.  It happens in both browsers.

On a side note, one contact who, like me, has both Microsoft and Google accounts, only shows up as connected via Google.  It is also worth noting that this person does not use their Google account and so the best way is to connect with them with a Microsoft account.

Any ideas?

Our school's email was upgraded by Microsoft from Hotmail to Outlook 365.  During that transition, I messed up my password and got locked out.  I now get "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect user ID or password." and when trying to recover the account, I get "It looks like your account has been blocked".

 

I've contacted the admin at the school and she said that as soon as Microsoft moved the account, she lost her ability to admin these accounts. 

 

I've chatted with the Charles L at "Microsoft account" on Outlook.com and Skydrive support and he recommend that I should post my question.

 

So, how can I get an account unblocked if no one has access to the admin of it??

 

Thanks

Hi, have a paid account which is due to expire very soon because I can't access the account to update the card details. I can't seem to contact Microsoft support. 

How do I access my own account in order to add my card details?
What is the best way to contact Microsoft support email / phone (in London, UK)? 

Thank you  
Hi Microsoft Team,

I'm having trouble with my other Microsoft account.. everytime i want to login "it looks like someone might be using your account" appears.

Unfortunately my alternative account has been disabled long ago so i'm forced to fill some kind of questionnaire about my blocked account.. i've already filled this questionnaire so many times and i can never get through my account. My social app such as instagram is connected to this email and i have some important email in this account i have to review..

Somehow i can't sign in to my instagram account and it is not linked to my facebook so i have reset my password which is the email that's connected and the one that can make me go through instagram account again is this my other hotmail account, i have to make another account to start this discussion.. i'm microsoft client from indonesia from i can't remember when.. hotmail is my first email account.. 

I'm also a graphic designer.. my portfolio is in my instagram and i have to access it to be able to work.. that's why this is very important to me

Please, i beg of you Microsoft Team.. Help me..

Thank you so much!
