If the sign-in is blocked at “Let’s prove you’re human”, use these supported paths:
- Try unlocking or signing in at https://account.microsoft.com.

- If sign-in still fails, use the Microsoft account sign-in helper.
- Use the sign-in helper at https://aka.ms/sign-in-helper.
- Enter the email address or mobile phone number for the account.
- The tool checks the account and tells what action is needed.
- If no issue is detected, it provides self-help guidance.
- If the account is recognized but the password or sign-in no longer works, use Recover your account.
- Enter the email address, phone number, or Skype name used to sign in.
- Choose where to receive the security code.
- Enter the code, then set a new password.
- If the email is not recognized, try another alias or phone number on the account.
- Also verify the email domain is correct, such as
.comvs.co.uk.
- If the account has been locked and the “Let’s prove you’re human” option does not appear, use the aka.ms/ reinstatement link shown in the sign-in window and follow the instructions there.

support.microsoft.comand subdomains -
login.live.com -
login.microsoftonline.com
