Dozen attempts and I can't recover my password. All my information has changed over past 20 years.

    Hi Eddie, thank you for replying. Unfortunately, you cannot close the account without knowing the password. No worries, since the issue persists, I recommend contacting Microsoft Accounts and Billing support by following the steps below:

    Go to this link: https://support.microsoft.com/home/contact

    In the search bar, type in your issue, then hit enter.

    Scroll down to the bottom and select the blue button "Contact Support"

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

    Unfortunately, you cannot close the account without knowing the password. In this case, I recommend following the steps below to recover your account:

    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:

    https://account.live.com/acsr

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

    Note: This is a public forum. I may respond shortly, but I apologize in advance for any delays. I am simply a fellow user trying to provide helpful insights and information.
