ahmed hussain asks:
My Windows Live/Hotmail account seems to be blocked. I can’t log in even after changing my password. I get an error 800488fe. The message that I receive is that my account has been blocked or compromised. I’ve tried previous methods in MakeUseOf guides and have not had success. Are there any other tips? I have been using this account for 15 years and I don’t want to lose it.

In case you received this, you need to have your account undergo a validation process by the Windows Live Hotmail Team

Try clearing browser history,cookies,disabling plugins and enabling them one by one while trying to sign in to Hotmail.This will get you know which is the defaulter plugin.

June 20, 2012I have had my msn hotmail account for years. For years I have sent messages/pictures to my email now I can’t. I had my computer tech go over my computer. He says it has to be with my hotmail account. Because I can send the same messages to my other email accounts. Can you help me with this? Please……
Elizabeth, you haven’t said exactly WHAT you can’t do… If you can’t log in, have you tried clicking on the “Can’t access your account?” link on the login page?

I’ve tried everything you have suggested on this blog. Is this a know problem right now? My wife is having the same issue with her account.

July 31, 2012was speaking to you today trying to log in to my blocked hotmail account and it cut off, i still cant access my hotmails and no one has got back to me. what do i do ?
Microsoft have blocked our email accounts the fuck’n shitholes allege that the accounts have been by someone other than the user, despite fact that its been a free facility I think its grossly unfair for them to treat us like this I have just seen on the news that they are revamping the system to Outlook.com I can’t even get the flipping code it won’t recognise the phone numbers its a fuckn nightmare I have lost all contacts I had made over 14 years. Fuck them I am switching to yahoo.
July 31, 2012billy
August 6, 2012MICROSOFT. You should at least WARN people before blocking their accounts, because some use these accounts for their professional life. You should upgrade HOMTAIL security instead of making people pay for anything they did not even know of. This is not fair and just…. I’m waiting since 4 days now and still no response from microsoft support team. This is so frustrating.
If you warn people before blocking them, they could at least transfer their address book to an alternate account and forward arriving emails also to the alternate account. This should be possible, in order to let people live in peace instead of just bringing extra stress and frustration in their lives.
