I am trying to contact Microsoft to deal with an account they decided to lock out. And I cannot reach the support website. I just get the following error when I navigate to the website Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://support.microsoft.com/" on this server. Reference #18.a49a3b17.1700526724.806d502
The phone support just tells me to go to this website that doesn't work. How can I deal with this if I cannot access the support page?

I'm having the same problem and the phone number just keeps telling me to use the internet which I cannot access due to my original problem with windows update and my phone says access denied.. I'm so infuriated right now I'm about done with microsoft.
Until MSFT fixes the issue, try either 1) attempting right after a fresh reboot (this sometimes works for me) or 2) launch a VPN then attempt (this always works for me so far. I choose a UK server).
Hi Jen, I see this issue is from 2023. has there been a fix for this? I am currently experiencing this problem:
You don't have permission to access "http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/home/contact?" on this server.

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.9e39c917.1720640711.2a1868f6
I reported it again to MSFT. The problem is fixed when I use my VPN and log in from the UK. Use a VPN until they fix the issue.
hello,
please help I am having the same issue and there is no recourse. I am just COMPLETELY barred from accessing support and it has been an extremely stressful situation. When i try to call the help line the AI hangs up on me, I even made a new account so i could access support but i get the same ACCESS DENIED message evrey time. I have NO WAY to get help PLEASE HELP, I am beyond stressed i am ready to cry. I need someone from microsoft to contact me as I am completely barred from any method of accessing support, what kind of service is this? it is INSANE for this to be happening, really feels like a HUGE F*** you from Microsoft.
