I have been blocked from my hotmail account, ******@hotmail.com, filled out form many times and they just say can't unblock at this time, please try again. I need this account unblocked, as it is attached to many accounts and I need to keep in touch with my Doctors. It is so frustrating when one cannot contact Microsoft.

    I think this is the problem. I chose the text message verified the last 4 digits, but never got a text with a code, so then I chose an alternate method and it runs you through "stupid" questions like the last emails addresses that you recently received and specific subject. I don't know about you but I don't memorize all the email i send or receive, so needless to say they won't unlock my email . I counted the * of the phone number that I use to verify, and I believe there are too many numbers. How would I go about checking and changing that? I have had this email since the beginning of emails and have not had anything like this happen. I was just in this email last week and now this. HHEELLPPP!!!!!

    Hello Janet,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I am a Microsoft user just like you, I hope you are doing well.

    I'm sorry to hear that your account has been blocked. This can happen if Microsoft detects some unusual sign-in activity or a violation of the Terms of Use. To unblock your account, you'll need to reset your password and enter a security code or use a different verification option. You can follow these steps:

    • Go to account.live.com and sign in to your blocked account.

    • Enter the email address of the blocked account, then enter the characters you see on your screen and select Next.

    • Enter the code generated by your authenticator app or select Use a different verification option to get a text message or an automated phone call.

    • After you enter the security code, you'll need to change your password to complete the unblocking process. Make sure you create a strong, unique password to help keep your account secure.
