Using Outlook for Android for personal email and calendar management
Hi,
I will walk through a few steps with you. Some of these are just to help figure out what is wrong, not to fix it right away. So if nothing changes after a step, that is normal. I will keep going until we solve it.
Do you mean you cannot log into the account?
Microsoft account sign-in helper

Reset a forgotten Microsoft account password
Account recovery unsuccessful

If the recovery is unsuccessful, I wish I had a better answer for you, but the Recovery form is automated, and no one can override it, including Microsoft support(which we are not a part of).
Here are some tips:
- Use a Device & Location You Used Before
- Fill the Form Slowly & Accurately
- Provide the Most Important Information First
- Email Usage Details Matter: If it’s an Outlook/Hotmail account, add:
- Subject lines of emails you sent recently (e.g., “Invoice for January”, “Job Application”, “Family Photos”)
If you used the account on a Windows PC:
- Mention the device name (e.g., DESKTOP‑123ABC)
- Approximate Windows sign‑in dates
I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
