Why am I locked out of hotmail account?

If you are locked out of your Hotmail account, it could be due to several reasons, such as entering an incorrect password multiple times, which may result in a temporary lockout. Here are some steps you can take to regain access:

1. Wait and Retry: If you've entered the incorrect password too many times, you may need to wait a short period (usually around 5 minutes) before trying again.
2. Password Reset: If you believe your password is incorrect, you can try resetting it. Make sure to follow the proper procedure for resetting your password through the Hotmail login page.
3. Account Recovery: If you are still unable to access your account, consider using the account recovery options provided by Microsoft. This may involve answering security questions or verifying your identity through a recovery email or phone number.
4. Contact Support: If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.

It's important to ensure that you are using the correct email address and that your account has not been compromised.
