The automated account recovery form keeps failing and I no longer have access to the recovery methods. I need this escalated to the Microsoft Account Recovery team.

    Hey there! Nice to meet you!

    Since you do not have access to the verification methods 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
