    I need help! When logging it it says my msn account does not exist. But when trying to recreate my account it says my account is part of a reserved domain. Going insane... I need to get into this account to recover the password of the account that has my kids photos. The account is under ******@msn.com

    If it has been over a year the data is gone.  You may be able to create a new account using the same email address.

    What happens when you try that?

    The statement about requiring login via browser is not true.  Any type of login is acceptable and the timeinterval is 365 days, not 270.

    The error "Microsoft Account does not exist" usually means:

    The person is logging in using an Alias. If the user renamed the affected email address into a new account, the original account will become an Alias. Thus logging in using the original account (Alias) will trigger the system to prompt the user that it does not exist. The solution is to log in using the new account.

    The person mistyped the email address. Retyped the correct email address.

    The person did not access the account (WITH A BROWSER) within 270 days. The account will be deleted permanently in the system due to inactivity. You may recreate the account as a new account if it is still available but the data is gone.

    Have you tried creating a new account with the same email address?
