I had the same issue with my Hotmail address. I know the address and password, but Microsoft won’t let me login. And they ask ridiculous things like, what emails are in the inbox. I haven’t used this address for 20 years, I just want to access the Hotmail address from when I was a teenager.

Send some emails to the address, then you'll know what is in the inbox :)

Logging in doesn't solve your problem. It gets way worse after you log in [0]. At least now you still have hope.
