Hi bismo hadi,

I understand how concerning it is when a Hotmail account that you use for Xbox suddenly becomes blocked.

Please note that this is a user-to-user forum, so contributors cannot review or unlock Microsoft accounts directly. If possible, please also share the exact message you see when trying to sign in, but do not include your full email address, recovery code, phone number, or any personal information.

You can try the following official options:

1, Submit an account reinstatement request

If Microsoft has blocked the account due to suspicious activity or a policy review, submit the Account Reinstatement form and provide as much information as possible about the account: https://www.microsoft.com/digitalsafety/account-reinstatement

Use an email address that you can currently access, because the review team will contact you there. After submitting the form, it is better not to send repeated requests too quickly, as this may slow the review process. Microsoft’s locked account support article also explains that reinstatement requests are reviewed by the Online Safety team by email. Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accounts-billing/manage/microsoft-account-has-been-locked

2, Contact Microsoft Support by live chat

If you still need help understanding what to do next, you can try contacting Microsoft Support through live chat:

• Visit the Microsoft Support contact page: Contact - Microsoft Support    
• In the search bar provided on the page, type "Account Recovery" and press Enter.    
• Click on the "Get Help" button that appears.    
• Scroll down the page until you see and click on the "Contact Support" option.    
• When prompted to select your product or service, choose "Other Products".    
• For the category, choose "Manage Account Security".    
• Look for and click on "Chat with a support agent in your web browser".    
• When prompted, provide a valid contact email where Microsoft can reach you regarding your case.    
• Explain your situation clearly: Be concise but provide all the relevant details.      

Please be aware that support can guide you through the recovery or reinstatement process, but they cannot bypass verification, reveal account details, or directly change account ownership for security reasons.

I hope this helps you reach the correct review channel and recover access to your account.
