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.

    Hi All,

    I'm having the same problem, Hotmail account blocked, even introducing the right password, codes, answering the questionnaire and still blocked, Microsoft thinks there's not sufficient information to unlock the account!!!

    Did anyone manage to unlock the account?

    Is there a contact number, email address that we can talk to?!!

    Thanks for the help
