Switching or deleting microsoft account

I normally Skype on my android tab or ipod, but i decided to use a friends computer and accidentally connected their microsoft account to my Skype and I dont know how to remove it or change it. Help?

The only way out to delete your MS account is to hard reset the phone, and then log in with the new account, make sure you have taken backup of all the contacts & events and mind you, changing MS account will not let you usse any purchased app on the earlier account, u will have to buy them again.
In the previous reply there is the process to hard reset the phone, also this may fix your photos issue.

Hi,
Please follow the steps below to check the service named "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant" status.

Help Switching from Local to Microsoft account.

So I just recently bought this Asus T100. I set everything up and it was working fine with my microsoft account. Then a few days later, when I used my mail app a message said that said to try again later. I tried to
log back in a few days later and it said the same. It then said the same thing when using the music app. I searched online and it said that I should switch my password. I did that but no luck with signing in. So I decided to switch to a local account then
log back in to the microsoft account to maybe get it to the way it was. It now gives me either an error saying that the service is unavailable or it get that it cannot switch error code 0xd000072. I've gotten it so many times I have it memorized. Anyway, I
have tried doing the troubleshooter and tried doing the firewall thing and still no results. It seems like everyone gets their error resolved after the use the troubleshooter, and not me, sigh. I have no clue what to do to resolve this issue. What shoulld
I do now?

That is frankly the first thing I would have checked. Norton has a nasty reputation for inconsistencies like this and BSOD'S
You cant disable it you have to un-install it (put it back after if you must)
Symantec is a frequent cause of BSOD's.

Automatic switch a local account to a Microsoft account or vice versa

Hi
With Windows 8.1 Update 1, when I switch a local account to a Microsoft account or vice versa, some dialog and confirmation/verification screen are displayed.
It is possbile to save the inserted data in this dialog screens and eliminate confirmation/verification screen in order to automate these procedures?
Thanks
Bye

Hi,
This is a build feature in windows for security concern, I don’t think there is a method to eliminate this.
You can see this link if you want to know what’s going on when switch accounts in Windows 8:

How do i change my icloud name i already made a new apple id and i want to switch it to my new apple id? I'm afriad if i delete my account i will loose all my pictures..

how do i change my icloud email? I already made a new apple id and i want to switch it to my new apple id? I'm afriad if i delete my account i have now I will loose all my pictures and I want to keep them

To change the iCloud ID on your devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any synced data from your device, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. However if you are changing to a new account, be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone (iPad) when prompted, then choose Merge to upload your data to the new account when you turn on iCloud syncing again.
Prior to deleting the account, if you have an photo stream photos that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

I can't switch to microsoft account on my pc

Hi,
How about opening Store APPs, such as Store, mail, could you open them properly?
Is the Microsoft account just create at this system or you just want to switch to it from local account?
You can try to use SFC /scannow command to fix this problem for test. In addition, please follow the path below to check Store log if it identify this problem.
C:\Users\Your account\AppData\Local\Packages\winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\Temp

Is there anyway I can sign out of iCloud or switch to another iCloud without deleting the account?

I accidentally synced my iPad3 with my brother's iCloud, is there any way I can "Un-sync" my iPad from his cloud without deleting his account or restoring my iPad to its default form?

Settings>iCloud, scroll to bottom of screen and press Delete Account. This doesn't delete files in icloud, it only deletes the connection to the current iCloud account. Once doing that, you can enter the ID you really want to use.

Can't sync anything with my microsoft account and can't create a new one?

Hi,
I have recently done a software update to Windows 8.1 and now every time I try to access an app it prompts me to sign in to sync my data. I follow the screen prompts using my email address and password (the same as the one I have used to access this forum
so my current working microsoft account) and it says a microsoft account with this email address already exists on this PC.
I get through to the validation code page section, the code is sent to my phone, I enter it, the cloud information page is displayed the switch to microsoft account option appears I click switch and it says an account already exists on this PC???
If I try to choose the alternative option of creating a new account with the same email address (my main email account) I have the same issue which is an account already exists.
I have lost data and can't sync any music tracks etc - hugely frustrating!
What do I do??

Hi,
What's your current User Account? Local Account or Microsoft Account? If local account, please sign out and switch to Microsoft Account. If not, it should have problem with your Microsoft Account, please try to delete it from your system and readd it for
test.

Windows 8.1 Standard with Microsoft Account does not work with WSE 2012

I have a WSE 2012 machine with 3 users & 3 devices setup.
My Windows 8 (Standard) Laptop with Local User connects fine.
My Windows 8.1 (Standard) Nettop with Local User connects fine.
But my Windows 8.1 (Standard) Laptop with a Microsoft Account does not automatically login to the Server. It worked fine when it was running Windows 8 with a Local User but unfortunately in 8.1, MS decided to force a Microsoft Account login on us if I want
to continue to use Sky Drive! That would be fine, but now it wont login to their own server product...
I've tried adding a Windows Credential (set at Enterprise level) to the Credentials manager but it just gets forgotten on reboot.
If I log into the LaunchPad (which creates a temporary credential) then it works fine HOWEVER the "remember me" tick box is being ignored and the next time I restart the PC the LaunchPad is signed out again!
I've re-installed the connector.
I've removed the PC from WSE, un-installed the connector and then re-joined. (Done this twice, once as a local user and then converted to MS Account, and once as an MS Account.)
Basically, I just don't think WSE2012 with non-Pro versions of 8.1 on a MS Account have been tested and MS need to either fix it or document it. If someone could just get the LaunchPad to remember my local login and automatically start on next reboot then
it wouldn't be a problem. OR stop launch pad from deleting the manual credentials I added everytime I reboot. At the moment it's the worst of both worlds.
Any ideas?

Hi Susan,
Thanks very much for replying, but if you re-read my post you'll see that I already know how to do that and also that I don't want to change back to a local account because I need Skydrive access.
Essentially as it stands, I can use Windows 8.1 with WSE but lose SkyDrive (and any other MS Account benefits) or I can use an MS Account with Windows 8.1 but lose permanent access to my server shares and client backups...
Reading around it seems that it's perfectly possible to have an MS Account and then do one of the following:
Use a Windows Credential stored for the local user to give access to the Server.
Set the LaunchPad to automatically log in at start-up.
If on a Domain, go into settings and Link the MS Account to your Domain Account.
Unfortunately none of these options are working for me (3 isn't even possible with 8.1 Std).

Cant see the option to login as microsoft account on system after windows 8 was refreshed with 8.1

My system came with Windows8 installation. And I created my windows account on this.
Later it prompted for 8.1 update and I went with that.
After 8.1 got installed, I also created my local account.
I logged in as local account (also admin account) and then logged out. first issue came as system errored out once I tried to login as microsoft account now. I dont know why.. It was not wrong password error. It just said error logging into microsoft account
Now I do not see an option to login as microsoft account. PLease note, I do not even see this listed in user accounts.
There are other issues too, like for every folder, I need to specifically provide admin access even if I am logged in as local administrator account. But I am fine with these issues.Obviously, they irritate :).
But I would like to resolve the microsoft account issue first.. HOw do I get it back ..

Hi,
Please check your Microsoft Account status in User Account Manager：Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts
In addition, please access to the path of registry to check your Microsoft Account if it locate there.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
If problem persists, the workaround method may be need you delete and readd your Microsoft Account on your computer.

Sign in with Microsoft account not responding

I have problem with skype sign in with Microsoft account. When I click on sign in with Microsoft account, in version 7 skype freezes and not respond and in version 6 it stays in loading and not respond. I tried to uninstall completely and reinstall, delete the share.xml and all of the available solutions. None of them have worked! It's worth to mention that I have no problem with Android version.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

Merging with microsoft account

I had one skype account which I deleted because I didnt like the username. My microsoft account was merged with that skype account.
Now I have created a new Skype account and I want to merge the same microsoft account with this new skype account. But I am unable to do so.
When I try to login using microsoft credentials it just say that the account has been suspended for my security. I had two live chat with skype support but thay are unable to resolve the problem.

under normal circumtances, one can easily unlink their Microsoft account with a certain Skype account (https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12211/how-do-i-unlink-my-skype-and-microsoft-or-facebook-accounts), then merge it with another Skype username.
However, in your case, as it seems that there are possible issues related to your microsoft account, you may need to settle the issue first and only the customer support can assist you with that. You can try to contact them again to know what your possible options are.
