Hi @Dave_Home
Welcome to the community!
Sorry to hear that you are having issues accessing your emails at this time. Can you confirm that you have reset the password to one that you have NEVER used before for that email address? You will also then need to wait wait at 30 minutes before trying it - it is very important that you do this or the mailbox will not unlock.
If you can also perform full virus checks on all of your devices on which you've used the affected email address and check/remove any unknown third party apps from those devices to prevent from being locked again. Failure to do so may cause your mailbox to be locked once again soon after.
Let me know if you have tried and check all this and if you are still unable to gain access.

It may seem pedantic, but you do say specifically "Sending" email, so just to clarify, does that mean the problem is:
Can you give a bit more explanation of exactly what the problem is including any error messages you are getting?
Also, can you confirm that you have a Virgin Media broadband account?
Sorry to answer your question with a series of questions but we cannot see what you can see, we can only go by what you post. At the moment there really is not enough information for anyone to know what to suggest.

Hi @Dave_Home,
I am so sorry to hear that you're struggling to access your email account again.
What problems are you facing when you attempt to reset the password to the account? To confirm, are you attempting to make the password adjustment directly via our webmail service on our website and not through a third party app or mail client?
Thanks,
