Hi, I'm Bernard. I'm happy to help!

To recover the account, kindly follow the steps below:

Method 1. Recover a Microsoft account by resetting the password:

Go to this link: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2273955 and follow the prompt to reset the password.

For reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/reset-a-forgotten-microsoft-account-password-eff4f067-5042-c1a3-fe72-b04d60556c37

 

Method 2. If you cannot reset the password or are unable to verify the account, I recommend submitting a recovery form:

Please complete the form and expect a reply within a couple of days.
