Hey, i really don't know if this is the right area to talk about this, this may take abit of explanation. I came back to my computer to find that my normal email that is connected to my microsoft account i use to access my windows is not what it is but instead was ru*****@rambler.ru now at that moment i did see the actual email address but i was scared that i got hacked i went straight into my administrator and deleted that user which in reality is the user i use every day to do my school work and everything else, i know this was a stupid decision and i hate myself for it but i did made a system restore before i did that and got my user account back but because my windows account was connected to my microsoft account and because they have changed the email to whatever it is ru*****@rambler.ru i cannot do anything, i have looked at the fourms but they need the acutal full email to even begin to recover if its possible. Im sorry if my grammer or how i sentenced things was bad, not the best at english but please is there any way to retrieve my account back?

    This doesn't help you but i am in the same situation as you. A month later after you posted your forum. My account was hacked. The email was changed to a rambler.ru account/user as well. The same email i normally use for my main email to my Microsoft just changed one day and its the current situation me and you are put in. But i was able to obtain and look at the changed email the hacker made. If you can try to sign in using your computers 4 digit code you'll be able to see the email the hacker used. This is the most and farthest i have made it in the progress of trying to get my Microsoft account back. But getting the email they changed your Microsoft account to is an huge step foward. I hope you make progress in getting your account back. Do inform or reply back if anything i said helped you because i myself need help getting my account back aswell

    I’m sorry to see that you’ve marked my reply as not helpful. Please note we’re just fellow users like yourself & not Microsoft.

    I can only point you in the right direction to recover your account &/or to suggest you fill in the account recovery form if the details have been changed. We cannot change these details for you or offer to recover your account for you.

    Hello, I’m Virginia, I have 20 years of expertise in fixing my own & friends’ PC problems.

    Sorry to hear you’re experiencing problems.

    As we don’t have access to account details I would recommend following the instructions here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/h...

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/account-bil...

    If none of the above work then you’ll require the account recovery form:
