Thank you for the information.

Since you do not have 2FA and if you do not have any linked verification methods for a password reset, the only way to recover the account is through the account recovery web form: https://account.live.com/acsr

You'll need to keep trying until you're verified by Microsoft, and you can do this up to 2 times every 24 hours.

If your Microsoft account recovery request was not granted, please review this link for tips on improving your chances of a successful recovery: https://support.microsoft.com/office/dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53

Please be advised that Microsoft Support will not be able to grant you access to your account.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Darhyl

Hey there! Nice to meet you!

In addition to what the AI mentioned, I just want to confirm, did you have two-factor authentication (2FA) active on the account?

If yes, are you able to access the second factor of authentication? Do you have access to the security information/verification methods, email, or phone number linked to the account?

Important: If you have an active 2FA, ACSR will inform you that your recovery request will be ignored. If you only receive a message that the recovery request is either successful or indicates insufficient information, this means that 2FA is disabled.

Also, may I know when was the last time you successfully signed in to your account?

Best regards,

Darhyl

Hi there, apologies for the delay, nice to meet you too.

No I didn't have 2FA active.

And the last time I successfully signed in to the account was when I was setting up the account(which is the first time), I was setting it where it required a parent email, which I did, but after a couple of days, it got locked suddenly.

That message means Microsoft detected unusual activity and temporarily blocked sign-in or recovery to protect the account. This can happen when signing in from a new device or location, after repeated recovery or verification attempts, or other activity that looks unusual.

Try this in order:

Use the Microsoft Sign-in Helper and enter the email address or phone number for the blocked account. It checks the account and gives the next supported recovery steps.
On the sign-in screen, if prompted, choose a connected verification method and enter the security code.
If the account is blocked on one verification method, try a different method already connected to the account, such as an alternate email instead of SMS.
Try signing in from a trusted device or a usual location/network where that account was used before.
Avoid repeated attempts. Too many sign-in, recovery, or verification requests can extend the block.
Wait and try again later. A temporary block may clear after 24 hours, and in some cases it can take longer, up to 1 week.

If this is an Outlook.com / personal Microsoft account, the unblock flow is handled through the Outlook.com account unblock page and the Sign-in Helper.

If this is a work or school account used for Teams online classes, password and sign-in recovery is handled by the organization. In that case, contact the school IT admin or use the work or school password reset page.
