What should I do if my Hotmail account is blocked?

In recent years, the Hotmail/Windows Live services have been expanded by Microsoft to add an impressive variety of browser-based services. You would think this is a pretty good thing with so many free features. However, when your account is blocked, what happens to your emails and data?

Don't worry, you are not the first one whose Hotmail account is blocked. A significant proportion of Hotmail users complain of getting their accounts blocked.

To unblock your account follow these steps:

Step 1: To recover your account, first of all, go to the reset password page and reset your password.

Step 2: Here you have to enter the email address of the account that is blocked.

Step 3: Furthermore, you have to enter the characters that you see on your screen before clicking on Next.

Step 4: After clicking next, you have two options of either entering the code that is generated by an authenticator app. Another option is selecting Use a different verification option through which you will get a text message.

Step 5: Last, but not the least, you have to enter the security code here. Also, you have to change your password to further complete the process of unblocking.

If this does not help, use the Hotmail phone number and get assistance.

Furthermore, you can also go through these things other than resetting your password. Have a look:

1. Requesting for a new password: Request that alternate email address that is entered by you earlier be sent with a new password. Usually, this is needed when you register for the Hotmail account. The alternative email address should work. You cannot use this option if your alternate email address is not in use for a longer time. If this doesn't happen, contact Hotmail support number.

2. Go to the troubleshooting page: Often it's not your account that is facing the problem, but the device configuration. So what you should do is, use a separate device to access your Hotmail account. You should check your device settings if you know how to do so. Access your account on a different desktop that you are not using to log in to your Hotmail account regularly.

Nothing is more frustrating than your mail getting blocked, particularly if you there is something important to arrive in your inbox. Though many people just create a new account, which is not a solution to the problem. Try to make your password as strong as possible and not to share it with anyone.
