Hi, I had to create a new account, and stupidly didn't add a secondary email address.

I am unable to login and tried recovering the account with no luck. How can I contact you via chat or via tel? please advise as I urgently need access

    Unfortunately, there are no other options to recover the account.

    You can try checking the guidance notes on this link for tips on how to fill out the form: https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/guidance-notes-for-the-microsoft-account-recovery-form-4dd8fef1-33d2-4fbe-9352-66127ab9b50e

    Please be advised that Microsoft Support will not be able to assist you with manual recovery, unblock, and escalation for this case, as stated in this article, that they are not permitted to send password resets, access, or even change any details on the account:

    Hey there! Nice to meet you!

    If you do not have any linked verification method for a password reset, I'm afraid the only way to recover the account is through the account recovery web form: https://account.live.com/acsr

    Important: If you have an active 2FA, ACSR will inform you that your recovery request will be ignored. If you only receive a message that the recovery request is either successful or indicates insufficient information, this means that 2FA is disabled.

    You'll need to keep trying until you're verified by Microsoft, and you can do this up to 2 times every 24 hours.

    If your Microsoft account recovery request was not granted, please review this link for tips on improving your chances of a successful recovery: https://support.microsoft.com/office/dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53

    Please be advised that Microsoft Support will not be able to grant you access to your account.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Best regards,

    Darhyl
