We are Howly - an online expert question-and-answer website that connects users with verified technical experts that can assist with any tech-related issue. We're not affiliated with Outlook, we provide assistance regarding matters on the platform, but we don't have access to their databases, and therefore, can't change anything from our side. In this case, you need to wait for an answer from Outlook directly. I'm sorry.
And I’ve tried that but don’t have a different way to contact me
In this case, we can create another email, on which you would receive an answer from Outlook. Would it be okay with you?
I tried that but I can’t remember my old passwords or anything important. I know it sounds crazy. I know you’re doing your job but im starting to get a bit stressed
Do not worry, nothing terrible is happening, it is a standard procedure and it happens quite often.
can I somehow change my old number the one ending in 152 and change it to my current number?
Unfortunately, you need to renew access to your account, to change this information.
Would you like me to help you with creating a new email address, that you would use to contact outlook?
Ok
Great :) Would you like to create one more outlook mail, or gmail?
