I need to get in contact with a real person from the support team so I can try to help a relative to get his access back to her email account.

I can provide national ID card from Argentina that will allow you to check that this relative is the owner of the account.

She opened this account about long time ago and she does not remember exactly the secure question/anwers.

    Hi Rodrigo,

    Thank you for posting, I am here to help you today. The account recovery process is the last resort that requires you to prove ownership by answering a few questions that only the account owner can answer.

    If you are unable to provide sufficient answers to be verified, the system won't grant you access.

    I will suggest you keep trying with Account Recovery Form as it is the only way you can restore access to your account.

    You can submit Account Recovery Form up to two times per day using a device you have used to access your account before and from a similar location.

    The recovery form is available at https://account.live.com/acsr

    Helpful tips:

    Answer as many questions as possible. If you’re not sure, guessing is ok — wrong answers don’t count against you.

    Use the information you created when you created your account or when it was last updated.

    Submit the information from a computer that you use regularly.

    After you submit the Account recovery form wait for Microsoft to respond within 24 hours on your working mail you provided.

    For more information you can check this article:
