Why can’t I access my Hotmail account even after passing verification?

Karen White October 12, 2012

I’ve used hotmail.com for around 10-12 years with NO problems whatsoever. However, recently I appear to have had my account hacked and it has been temporarily blocked. When I try to login, it appears to accept my password, then takes me directly to the ‘Your account has been temporarily blocked’ screen.

I’ve passed the questions verification form (and have an email dated 2012-09-17 12:23 on my alternate email to prove it), but I still can’t login.

      If you access your account less often and sometimes after 90 days,then you risk losing your account.If Hotmail is asking you to change your password,then reset your password to stronger ones as recently,Hotmail is urging many users to change it.

    What are you doing Microsoft? I have the same problem as Karen White. I can't access my hotmail account no matter what verification I give. Do you want everyone to create an email address with someone else. This is so wrong. Do something Microsoft.

      It's so frustrating Trevor. This has been my main email account for over 10 years. Lost photos, email addresses, messages from a friend who has since died. *MICROSOFT please HELP!!!*

      If one can prove they've passed the verification form questions and/or mobile code, which I can - then please tell me what to do next? It's been over a month now of trying to access my account. In hope for myself and Trevor...

    Contact hotmail regarding account hijacking.

      Unfortunately, there is no way to contact Hotmail and get help unless you have a PAID hotmail account. I offered to pay money. They declined, saying I can't get a paid account as my account is locked down and they can only help customers with paying accounts! It's a nightmare.
