Microsoft Account locked
<p>Wow, that sounds incredibly frustrating — being locked out of your Microsoft account with no access to recovery options is a nightmare, especially when it's tied to critical services like OneDrive and email. It's definitely possible that the flood of camera system alerts triggered some kind of spam or abuse detection.</p>
<p>You might consider trying Microsoft's <strong>account recovery form</strong> from a different IP or device, or even contacting them via Twitter/X through <a href="https://twitter.com/MicrosoftHelps" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">@MicrosoftHelps</a> — sometimes they respond faster there. Also, on our blog at <a href="https://devolity.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Devolity</a>, we’ve discussed backup strategies and security hygiene to prevent situations like this, especially for IoT-related systems that generate lots of alerts.</p>
<p>Hang in there — hopefully you’ll regain access soon. If you find a solution, please do share, as others could definitely learn from your experience!</p>
