#My microsoft word is not working right password
Hotmail (or, these days) is doing exactly the right thing: it’s telling you your password is incorrect because your password is incorrect. The password you’re convinced is correct is no longer the password to your account. Having done so, they also changed the recovery information - like your first dog’s name - associated with your account.

Someone guessed or otherwise got your password and then changed it. If your typing is accurate and your user name is correct, the most likely scenario is that your account has been hacked. For example, if you type in the wrong email address as the user name, your correct password will not be the correct password for some other (or non-existent) account. Perhaps type it into Notepad so you can see it, and then copy/paste it into the password field of the site or app.ĬAPS LOCK is your enemy here, and it’s common to hear back from people who are somewhat embarrassed that it was the problem.Īlso, please confirm that you’re typing the username or email address in properly. Please don’t be offended - but take the time to make certain that you’re typing in the password you think you are. Then you need to secure your account to make sure this doesn’t happen again. You need to treat it as a hacked account and attempt to regain access.

Somehow the password was changed - most likely by someone else. If you’re absolutely certain you’re entering the right password and username and your password still is not accepted, then it’s no longer the correct password.
