I wish I had better news, but when a Microsoft account is hacked, if the hackers change the associated Email, then that account is usually no longer recoverable, this forum is just a user to user account and no-one here has any account access, try using the process they provide on this link to recover a hacked account, if this process is not successful, sadly, that account cannot be recovered.

- If you can still sign in in any way, immediately change your password using the link in that article and make it a strong password.
- If you cannot sign in because the hacker changed the password and email, use the account recovery form and follow the steps in the same article to try to regain access.
- If you get alerts about unusual sign-ins
- Sign in (if possible) to the Security basics page.
- Select Review activity and on the Recent activity page mark anything that is not yours:
- In Unusual activity: expand the event and select This wasn't me.
- In Recent activity: expand and select Secure your account.
- Then select Change password on the Security basics page and set a new strong password.
- If you cannot sign in at all
- Follow the steps under When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account from the unusual sign-in article:
- Try to reset the password using the standard reset flow.
- If that fails, on the sign-in page choose Forgot my password → I think someone else is using my Microsoft account and complete the recovery process.
- Follow the steps under When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account from the unusual sign-in article:
- After regaining access
- Review and fix account settings that attackers often change:
- Check connected accounts, forwarding, and automatic replies using the links in the hacked-account article.
- Remove any unknown aliases or forwarding addresses and any rules that send or hide mail.
- Add secure verification methods (phone, alternate email, or app) and keep them private.
- Review and fix account settings that attackers often change:
If the recovery form and official flows fail and the security info has been fully replaced by the hacker, the community guidance indicates there is no alternative method to recover a personal Microsoft/Outlook.com account beyond these official tools.
