Old Samsung Ace2 - locked hotmail out

I was tidying up my phone, clearing cookies etc. as I often do, but this time I must have clicked on something mysterious because now I cannot sign into either facebook or my hotmail (which is essential to my work). I get the address on the browser bar with a padlock symbol and a totally blank page with no signing in boxes.

I saved all photos etc to computer and reset to factory settings, but the problem persists.

It's an old phone and I intend to get a new one, but I want to keep this as a back up.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    not sure but some apps will not work on older versions of android. have you tried a different browser? may be worth posting what browser and what version of android you are using and someone with more knowledge than me may be able to help

    I have the default Google browser that came with it. I tried to instal Opera but the phone no longer supports it. I have no idea what version of android it is. The phone is too old and I have got a new one this morning. I'm waiting for the new sim card because the old one is an obsolete size, lol.

    Thanks anyway for your reply. :)
