Are you having trouble signing in using your Windows Live ID? This usually
happens because...

  • You've forgotten your password.
  • Someone stole your password and is using your account to send spam. We block
    compromised accounts to protect you and your contacts, as well as help you
    recover your account.

The fastest way to regain control of your Windows Live account is to change
your password. Afterwards, you should ensure the attacker hasn't changed your
account information. Otherwise, they could take control of your account again.
Here are the steps you should take to regain control of your account:



  1. Can you still sign in
    using your Windows Live ID email address and password? If you can, you
    should change your password.
  2. Are you asked for your cell phone number after signing in? At sign in, we
    may ask for a cell phone number in order to send a text message with a secret
    code for you to enter. This helps prevent spammers from using your account.
  3. If you can't sign in, try resetting your
    password
    .

If you are unable to access your account for another reason, please see our
sign in problems page:
