Microsoft Account Locked

Question

Microsoft Account Locked

Jasmine D 0

I recently just recovered my account from a hacker with the help of CDOC management case around 3 days ago, and now when I try to open microsoft it tells me that my account is locked. I submitted a reinstatement form and they told me that because TSV is on, they can’t fix it. I think that’s really weird because they told me to turn it on once I recovered my account and it’s so confusing why they can’t lift something they did to my microsoft account just because of TSV.

Hello Jasmine D

I’m sorry you have been locked out again so soon after recovering the account.

Because this is a personal Microsoft account, no one in the Microsoft Q&A community can access the account, review the CDOC case, or remove the lock. If the sign-in page provides an aka.ms reinstatement link, please use that specific link and include the reference number from your previous account-recovery case.

Since you have already submitted the reinstatement form, avoid sending duplicate requests, as this may delay the review. Please keep the response from the review team and check whether it provides a case number or a way to supply additional information.

Two-step verification normally prevents recovery only when you cannot access any of the registered verification methods. Could you confirm whether you can still receive a code or approve a sign-in through at least one of your registered methods? Also, please share the exact wording of the rejection email, with your email address, case number, and other personal information removed.

Feel free reply back to this post and updtae me on this issue, I'll be happy to help.

Hello! I am still able to use my TSV methods and access all of my overall information used to login.

The rejection email is from [Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed] . They said,

“Hello,

We received your service request and after review, I found Two-Step Verification (TSV) has been enabled on the account. Unfortunately, when TSV is turned on, we are unable to assist with an account recovery as TSV takes the account recovery completely out of control of customer service. We are unable to remove the TSV or make any changes to the security information on the account due to security protocols set up on the account and accepted in the Microsoft Services agreement when the account was created.

The only option we have is to permanently suspend this account to prevent any further use of the account. I have verified that the account is suspended and will remain so.

Although this may not be the resolution you were expecting, unfortunately, it is the only resolution we can provide.

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience during the resolution of the issue.

This ticket will now be closed. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to submit a new request.

Sincerely,

Microsoft Online Safety“

Hi Jasmine D

Based on your clarification, you can still complete two-step verification using the methods already registered on the account. Therefore, you are not asking Microsoft to bypass TSV, remove it, or replace inaccessible security information.

The email also states that the account has been permanently suspended. That is an account-enforcement decision rather than an ordinary password-recovery problem. Microsoft Q&A contributors and regular support agents cannot access the account or reverse a Microsoft Online Safety decision.

If you are permitted to submit another reinstatement request, explain clearly that you have new information to add: all TSV methods remain accessible, you can verify your identity, and you are requesting a review of the suspension that occurred shortly after recovery from unauthorized access. Include your previous case reference only in the private form.
