Changes in account Hotmail and 30 days
Recently, I accessed my hotmail account to organize an alias and also get audit stage 2. For reasons I do not understand that I asked myself for my 'security information '. I have no idea what it is.
For some reason, an email address was attached to it with asterisks hiding some data. It looks like my wifes email. -What is that supposed to be my 'security info '?
Then asked me for my mobile number I gave - and then said that I could not access my account for 30 days - thanks a bunch. Turns out however that I can access my email - I can't do certain specific things. As what I wanted to do IE organize audit stage 2.
Today, I get an e-mail from MS:
«Info profile such as your name, date of birth or country has been changed on the Microsoft account * address email is removed from the privacy *.» (Ive removed some data from the address)
But this isn't my account: this is my account of wives. While on Earth is that supposed to mean? Of course, they have not changed its info?
To complicate matters more, when I went to my account (the browser) it says now:
What it means? Firstly its now 22/10/2014. Unless theyre using another date format? Maybe they mean Nov 10?
And yet once my wifes email with no other information. or an explanation. What's goin'? It makes no sense.
If someone out there can figure out what is happening, I would be grateful. Why should MS be so cryptic with their communication?

First of all because they contain personally identifiable information associated account questions are processed online using a secure online form
The forum has Microsoft has been removed and all associated accounts must now wonder online by using the Microsoft online form
Select the error you must help with and fill in the information requested on the next page. You must be connected to a Microsoft account to access the form.
Then the 30-day waiting period cannot be derogated. More information on waiting for 30 days can be obtained here
The 30-day waiting period can not be waived.
What should I know about the 30-day waiting period?
Even when you choose to remove your obsolete security information, MS don't remove it completely for 30 days. This waiting period allows to deter pirates update your security information and access your account without your knowledge.
After 30 days, the user of the account will be able to access the security settings and update his inside information.
But the waiting period does not mean that you are locked in your Microsoft account.
Check if you can still access your email through https://mail.live.com.
FOR INFO.

If you have problems with the support for the Microsoft account team
Third, for future reference please post Hotmail/outlook.com related issues in the outlook.com section (where the experts are)

Change administrator account name and now can't find My Documents
Tomorrow I'm helping a friend clean her Windows XP computer after her divorce. He said he went into Control Panel, user accounts and accounts deleted for his sons and then changed the name on his account (Administrator) to his name. Now he says that he cannot find his documents. I guess that it should not have changed his account name to her name and instead made his account an administrative and then deleted his account. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.
Hi sillycat41,Look in the C:/Documents and Settings folder, as to how much user account folders are present.Maybe his account will have a different name.Repair the damaged user account and check if it helps.For more information, see:If this is insufficient, restore the system to an earlier point before making any changes to the user account. -
I am writing from Peru. in January, I got an email from Apple advising me to change my email associated with my Apple ID and password. I did it. But since the tthen all the days I turn on my IPhone or IPad I'm asked to verify my password of my Apple which seems to be always related to old email ID! It's really boring to do so every day. I turned on my Apple TV, and he asked the iTunes Sore for former Apple ID password once again. I don't really know what to do. What, then, is the pint to change your email address linked to the ID and the password if it does not recognize the new password.
Are you sure that the email you received in January was Apple, not a phishing attempt to try to get your account and payment details?
If it was authentic, then after changing you connected everywhere wherever you use it and on the account: what to do when you have changed your Apple ID email address or password - Apple support ?

Why do I have an account Hotmail and Windows Live Mail? What is the difference?
Some time ago I had a problem getting into my Hotmail account when a transaction has been by Microsoft. It did not recognize my passwords and told me I tried too many times to do so I plugged the support staff who said that I only had not provided them with enough information to reopen my account and they told me to open a new. I did it. Then I found a Windows Live Mail account on my computer that had my old Hotmail top messages. I didn't open this account and it don't did me not a password, when I saw the icon and clicked it open. Now, I had this account which was again Hotmail messages sent to my old account but name to send e-mail messages, I got to use my new account. I was confused, but agree with that. Now, however, the Windows Live Mail is asking for a password and I have the same problem I had before.

Question about my account hotmail and re - install windows xp
I have to take my computer repair. They will have to remove my windows xp home addition and reinstall it. Will my windows live hotmail content and all the emails always be there when I connect
If you use the web for email-based version, and nothing is installed on your computer, it has no effect.
But you will have to reinstall all the other programs you have. And, you will need to make a backup of all your data files, including My Documents, or you won't, either.

Can I change my account from an administrator to a standard account?
I have currently my system set up as an administrator account and want to know if I can change it to a standard account, if yes, how do I do this?
Hello
Please contact the Microsoft Community.
Want to know how to change the type of user account to an administrator to a standard user. It's pretty simple and I'm here to help you.
I wish that you perform the steps-
(a) connect you to your administrator account, click on 'Start', type 'User accounts' (without the quotes) and press "Enter."
(b) now, click on "Change your account type" and then place a "point" next "Standard".
(c) click on "Apply changes".
Note: Make sure you have at least one additional account on the computer with privileges 'administrator' to prevent problems with user account controls.
In addition, see the articles-
Change the type of user account
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-a-users-account-type
Why use a standard account instead of an administrator account?
I hope that I have answered your query.

New Hotmail account blocked and other associated problems
I opened a new account hotmail 2 days ago, as the computer Windows 7 brand new did not support my Outlook Express email address existing. I then sent (or tried to) all my friends informing them of the change of address and almost immediately got blocked as a spammer. I came here yesterday and finally managed to get unlocked. If I had not had the intelligence to google the error message disturbing, I haven't discovered that I had been blocked at first. However, it now seems that I can only access my new hotmail address via messenger. Trying to enter directly via windows live mail results in a window that appears displays the new account and a former account hotmail of emergency set, even if I asked for the old one be closed yesterday. I want to just keep the new hotmail account and for the old disappear now and not have to wait 270 days or so that I didn't need it to be for 2 hotmail accounts. Settting upward the new hotmail email was more traumatic than other issues relating to the evolution of my computer. It is quite normal for a new account holder you need to send a lot of people immediately to inform them of his developments without such problems. Also, is there no way that holders hotmail account can contact hotmail to report any difficulties? I don't mind sharing my problems with others if it helps, but I'm unable to disclose specific information about my account.
You are welcome.

I lost all contacts and emails.
Have an iPhone 5s (new in December) using the latest operating system. Back to contacts with cloud, photos etc. have in desperation tried restore from the backup that I did in December but has not worked or the data is missing. I can't see the contents of the backup file, but it is one that I used when I changed service provider in December, it should be there.
I guess the problem is somehow related to my problems to Hotmail because it seems too much a coinsidence have the same problem on both
Advice on the possible reason of the restoration did not work and how to fix would be much appreciated
Recovering contacts from Hotmail is done by adding the account hotmail on iPhone.
FYI iCloud do not back up the information that are already synchronized, and your hotmail contacts are synchronized with the iCloud contacts and Hotmail servers (if you had them would be synchronized with the iCloud server).
To retrieve the contacts to iCloud you would go to icloud.com on the computer and go to settings after you open a session. In settings, you will find backups of your information is synchronized usually some contacts/calendars and other files, and you can choose the one you want to restore, but iCloud does not restore the hotmail contacts.
