outlook.com email password help

Hi

I take it from your thread title this is online email from outlook.com and used online and not with a client (Outlook as part of office)?

Client based is slightly different and at times you can recover the email password if saved on the PC, that app linked too (also don't need to the CMD version as downloadable/installer is on the page, BUT note than when installing it does have two bundled freebee addons that you need to decline) can help but only with a client based installed software and not really with online email from Microsoft as they use Exchange ActiveSync now.

Have you tried here
You would have the same issue with gmail to a point, some accounts now with outlook or gmail have a few layers of security and if a user set these then its difficult.


I guess as a small company they don't have any servers to run email off? it maybe worth cost prevailing looking into a dedicated email service, as disgruntled employees can cause havoc like this.

 

That link is nothing to do with a CMD option, the app linked too in the post by mdonah, has a CMD and installer version just scroll down to download and get the .exe version, but I did test this out myself and it wont really work for HTTPS email accounts, unless they are used in desktop clients like Office Outlook, Thunderbird etc

If you have run the reset then the only thing left is this route I can think of off hand https://account.live.com/acsr may need to prove contents of the types of emails, possibly email addresses of business contacts etc

gmail and many online email accounts are like this these days, the need for security of proving who you are to gain access now has any recovery options like email address, captcha, secret question and secondary email or mobile number.
