You have tried to log in too many times. Solved

Question

Hello, Since last night, my email inbox won't open and it says this: You have tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect email address or password. Even though I reset my password using my backup email address, I still get the same problem: You have tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect email address or password. What can I do? Should I wait (according to what I've read on other forums) 24/48 hours before trying to log in again? Am I hacked or frozen? Is it a virus? Thank you for replying, because like everyone else I think, this problem is very urgent. Simon

Yes, I confirm, it came back on its own, I logged in normally, and there, to my happy surprise, Hotmail simply asked me to create a new password, and that's it, I logged in, and everything was normal, nothing had changed in the inbox.
Good luck to you, it should be the same for you.
Thank you.

..don't know too much. But it's just that on certain operators, it blocks access to the account after 3 attempts....  @+ pasthou

So what should I do? Avira and malware scan? Wait 24 hours? 48 hours? Call Microsoft?

..what is your ISP...?  @+ Pasthou

SGOUGOU · Answer

ORANGE

pasthou · Answer

..Orange does not block access to the email account in case of a typing error.  If your ISP is Orange, you should have an Orange email address..?  @+ pasthou

SGOUGOU · Answer

I am at my parents' place for a month, so the messaging is in their name.

pasthou · Answer

..so..! you can still log in to your email account. In that case, you need to use Orange's webmail..  See you later Pasthou

SGOUGOU · Answer

No, it doesn't work and I can't do it, because the Orange webmail needs to send me an activation link to my "blocked" address...

SGOUGOU · Answer

I just tried with webmail as well, but it no longer recognizes "hotmail"... If someone can help me...

SGOUGOU · Answer

It doesn't work because I never "added" my "hotmail" address with my parents' address, who are with Orange...

pasthou · Answer

So, in short, you don't have an Orange address...?  @+ Pasthou

SGOUGOU · Answer

My parents, yes, but me, no, I've always used hotmail...

pasthou · Answer

..have you tried this link:  http://www.memoclic.com/1697-windows-live-hotmail/9542-modifier-mot-de-passe-hotmail.html  @+ pasthou

SGOUGOU · Answer

No, I haven't tried, but it's going to be difficult to do that if I can't connect...
I suppose I still have to wait 24 or 48 hours before trying to connect again?
I haven't tried again since last night around 6 PM...

pasthou · Answer

..in the end, don't overthink it, just create a new account and there you go
job done....or you could create an Orange account, because I believe you can
create up to 4 Orange accounts.....
