If you need to recover your Outlook account but don't have access to the phone number linked to your account, you can still try the following methods to regain access:

### 1. **Use Your Email Address (Account Recovery)**

- Go to the [Microsoft Account Recovery page](https://account.live.com/password/reset).

- Select **"I forgot my password"** and click **Next**.

- Enter the **email address** of your Outlook account and complete the CAPTCHA.

- Select **"I don’t have any of these"** when prompted to verify using your phone number.

- You'll then be asked to enter a **recovery email address**. This is an email address that you've previously added as a backup to your account.

- Check the inbox of the recovery email for a verification code.

- Enter the code to verify your identity, and then follow the steps to reset your password.

### 2. **Use the Microsoft Account Recovery Form**

If the basic recovery options don't work, you can fill out the **Microsoft Account Recovery Form**:

- Go to the [Microsoft Account Recovery page](https://account.live.com/acsr).

- Enter the email address of your Outlook account and a recovery email address.

- Microsoft will send a verification code to the recovery email address you provided.

- Fill out the form with as much information as possible about your account, such as:

- Previous passwords you’ve used.

- Details about recent emails sent.

- Information on contacts, folders, or calendar events (the more details, the better).

- Microsoft will use this information to verify your identity and try to restore your account.

### 3. **Use an Alternate Email for Account Recovery**

If you added an alternate email address when setting up your account, you might be able to recover your Outlook account using that address.

- Go to the [account recovery page](https://account.live.com/password/reset).

- Follow the same steps, but select **"I don’t have access to any of these"** when asked for a phone number, and use your alternate email to verify your identity.

### 4. **Check for Any Security Alerts in Your Email**

If you still have access to any other email accounts linked to the Outlook account, check them for any security alerts from Microsoft. Microsoft may have sent you a security code or a link to reset your password.

### 5. **Contact Microsoft Support**

If all else fails, you can reach out to Microsoft support for further assistance. Visit [Microsoft support](https://support.microsoft.com) and navigate to **"Get Help"** to connect with a support agent. Be ready to provide as much information about your account as possible (like the creation date, recent activity, etc.).

Remember that for account security, Microsoft may require multiple verification steps to ensure you are the rightful owner of the account.

Let me know if you need further assistance!
