If the Q&A Assist Answer did not solve your problem:

Click the [No] button on the "Was this answer helpful?" bar under the answer. If there is a [Reject] button visible, click that too. This should signal the forum moderators that you want a human to pick up this question.

If that does not get you a human response, type "Not Solved" in the "Add Comment" box below and then click the [Add Comment] button. I will try to offer some suggestions on what you can do next.

To get help from a live person by phone for a sign-in issue, use Microsoft’s official support channels and request a callback or phone option.

Open the Get Help app on Windows (type “Get Help” in the Start menu search and open it).
In Get Help, type a short description such as sign in problem or recover account, then press Enter.
Scroll down and select Contact support (or similar) at the bottom of the suggestions.
When asked to choose a product, select the Microsoft product that best matches the Outlook/Account issue.
Follow the prompts until the support options appear, then choose a phone-based option such as Call me back if it is offered in the region.

If using the web instead of the Get Help app:

Go to the general Microsoft support contact page from a browser.
Enter a brief description like recover account.
Scroll down and select Contact Support (skip self-help articles if the goal is to reach an agent).
Sign in with any Microsoft account that is accessible (if the old account cannot be used, sign in with another or create a new one).
Select Products and Services → the appropriate product category (for example, Microsoft 365 and Office → Manage Account Security).
Choose the option to Chat with a support agent or a phone/callback option if available.

For Outlook.com-specific sign-in issues, support can also be reached from within Outlook.com:

Sign in to Outlook.com with any account that works.
Select Help on the menu bar and enter the question.
If self-help does not solve the problem, scroll down to Still need help? and select Yes to get connected to support, then request a phone or callback option if shown.

If sign-in is not possible at all, use the dedicated “can’t sign in” support entry point provided in the Outlook.com help article and then proceed to contact support from there.
