Bad having to set up an account

What should I do when MS was asked to set up a real account, I followed instructions get code MS - and when I enter the code, just tells me it can't be done now? My husband had no problem of implementation on our surface. I use cell phone number? Also, why MS makes it so difficult to put up this account, especially when I have an outlook email account?

Hello

If you already have an e-mail address it is a Microsoft Account

Use the same email address

It starts with an e-mail address and a password used to connect to services such as Outlook.com, Skype, OneDrive and Xbox Live, as well as devices such as Windows 8 PCs, tablets and phones, and entertainment Xbox systems. If you use an email address and the password to connect to these or other Microsoft services, you already have a Microsoft account.

I think that your Outlook account is considered to be local until you use it as a Microsoft Account - see details

    How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?

    Hello Bob Zientak,.

    If a password is required to log on your system, then you won't be able to cirumvent it. Unfortunately the users of this forum are also not allowed to suggest ways to help you bypass (hack) the password (3668Microsoft Terms and Conditions).

    Remember passwords are case sensitive so maybe that you type a password in the case of bad? Did you create a password recovery disk when you created your password first? If Yes, then you must insert the password recovery disk to allow you to change the current password. If you did not create a password recovery disk then the next and more radical, opion is to re - install Windows.

  • I set up my account to sync android with an incorrect email address. How can I remove or change the email address or account.

    When I set up my account to sync on my pc and my andriod I left the 'L' in gmail. I type fast and I do it a lot. Not normally a problem because I get an error message 'incorrect email address. If I synced and all - went well. However, I have no email account which docks my sync account. I created a new account on my PC, but I cannot change or delete the account on my Galaxy S3 - running on android 4.3.
    I tried to add another Firefox sync account, but he asks that I can have only one account. I can't remove the account because I can't find this option.

    I have it. I can't get the possibility to delete an account if I go through the configuration of the Firefox application menu and selecting Sync. Then, pulling to the top of all the accounts that are set up on the phone. I select the e-mail incorrect firefox I went and here at the bottom of the screen is an option to delete the account. I wasn't able to find my synchronization options via the S3 setting menu. There must be a trick to access. I know that in order to access the developer on the 4.3 options, I had to go to the "build number" on the screen "about phone" and tap it five times in order to have the developer options appear in the Setup menu. Crazy, huh?
    Thank you for your time and trouble. Really enjoyed.

    Hello, take a look at the header of the email and check if there is an option to unblock it. If this isn't the case, you need to open the e-mail Yahoo (gear top-right) settings and look - probably at the security.

  • How can I configure 4 ipads for my students in an after-school program without them having access to my personal account information?

    Implementation of the ipads without my own information for students.

    My thought would be to create a unique ID iCloud/Apple account specific to your program. Place all 4 iPads with this Apple ID. In the so-called Apple ID, you can provide "necessary information" only including profile information. You should be able to have all 4 iPads under a single Apple ID. Then you can set the parental control on every iPad. Someone more experienced may have a better solution. Hope I gave a little in sight.

  • How to import old emails having accidentally deleted the email account?

    I have deleted my thunderbird e-mail account and now cannot access the mails I received. I'm trying to find them on the computer and import them, but don't know how to do. I use thunderbird on windows 8.1. Any help is appreciated!

    If you have deleted the email account, then it is expected that you wouldn't see emails. So there is nothing wrong with this part.

    It is possible to recover a deleted account.

    If you have an IMAP email account you simply re-create the IMAP account as e-mail messages are stored on the server and IMAP e-mail accounts have a remote view directories on the server.

    If you had a Pop e-mail account, e-mail messages are download from the server Inbox for the email account Thunderbird Inbox. By default, they download, and then delete the copy on the server. So now the only copy in your computer. You can set it up so that emails are not deleted from the server. Tools > account settings > server settings for pop mail account Select "Leave messages on the server" click OK

    Note: If you have an account and you want to remove it, but you always want to see e-mail messages, you need to move e-mails in local folders first and then delete the account.

    How to recover a deleted email account.

    This link tells you how to recover the account. But I described the process below.

    First check emails exist make hidden folders and files visible:

    In Thunderbird
    Help > troubleshooting information
    Click on the view file"" button.

    A new window opens to display the your profile folder.
    Click on "Mail".
    Click on the name of pop e-mail account (if it does not exist, then they are gone).
    Note its name and where it is located. In general: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile name\Mail\pop mail account name of the folder.

    This will show you all the folders listed as "files", they don't have any extension. Thus, for example: you will see the Inbox (email containing) and Inbox.msf (indexing file - no email).

    You can open the Inbox folder using Notepad to see the emails.

    Assuming that the account and emails are still there: close the window.

    In Thunderbird: Create a new pop e-mail account by using the same parameters as the one you deleted.
    File > new > account mail Exisitng

    Now to the point the mail account created to use the e-mail account deleted.
    Tools > account settings > server to the newly created pop e-mail account settings.
    lower-right look for "local directory".
    Click on the button "Browse".
    Locate your original pop email account and click Open
    In general it is located here:
    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile folder name\Mail\pop mail account name.

    Click OK

    Hello

    I would say you set the standard for your children account, because in the administrator account, you will have permissions to install, uninstall and remove a lot of things, so it is very difficult to verify what they shoot.

  • LaserJet Enterprise M577z MFP: LaserJet M577z MFP - how to set up SMTP account user individual device-based servers?

    Hello

    I have created multiple user accounts of device (local computer accounts) for different people who will use the scan-to-e-mail function on the M577z. Each person / user has a different e-mail provider (and the different e-mail address) and I need to enter different SMTP servers and ' from:' addresses to each device user account in the "Digital Scan / send - email setup" e-mail on the EWS (embedded Web server).

    However, so far I put servers SMTP configuration and only "of:" Correo electronico for all users, but not for each user individually. But this is not just because X user should not be able to scan and send from address of mail belonging to the user Y.

    How can I set up separate SMTP servers and ' from:' addresses in SAP for each user, individually?

    Thank you!

    In fact, I was able to fix it myself.

    In "Digital Scan / send - Email Setup ', under"Address and control field Message"I changed the option of ' of:' of ' default:' to ' address of the user (sign-in required).

    Thank you, in any case.
