    Unable to Access Microsoft Account or Support


    I accidentally purchased Minecraft on a different Microsoft account years ago. It has my purchases etc., so every time I get a new device, I have to log into that account. I am now unable to do so. I have tried resetting my password numerous times but am still told by password reset that my account is locked due to too many incorrect log-in attempts. I have tried contacting support but cannot reach a real person. I have tried calling, emailing, chatting, but am always redirected to the website, specifically the password reset page. This is not a solution. Is there any way to access my account? I fear it's years too late for a Minecraft refund, and my in-game purchases are linked to that account.

    :)

    Unable to Access Microsoft Account or Support

    Hi, I am Mariano, an independent advisor from the Microsoft-Xbox community. I am sorry you are going through this issue, let us try to fix it :)

    Have you tried completing the account recovery form? If not, here's the link:

    https://account.live.com/acsr

    I recommend being very detailed about what happened and providing all the information you have available.

    Completing the form does not guarantee that you can get it back, but it is better to try.

    From what you say, yes, it is too late for a refund for the video game, but at least you can try to recover this account.

    Parent e-mail address no longer exists

    Finally seem to be getting somewhere with this. My issue on the Microsoft support forums ended up getting escalated, and the Global Escalations rep informed me that I am unable to perform validation to access my account.

    Direct quote: "We request that you contact Xbox support and educate them that Microsoft account is unable to perform validation for your account."

    Where should I go from here?

    How to know which Microsoft account is linked to my PSN account.

    I’ve tried Sony support. They said they are unable to help as they can’t access the data required, as Minecraft/Mojang is under Microsoft license . Do I need to contact Microsoft Support to access them to access the data?

    How to know which Microsoft account is linked to my PSN account.

    So is Microsoft unable to access the data as well? Then who can access the data which says which Microsoft account is linked to my PSN account?

    how to change the email in the profile when the email is not working and the verification codes are sent to that email?

    Hello PaulKeiser1,

    Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. I understand that you no longer have access to the email that is meant to receive the verification code for your account. Unfortunately, we do not have access to accounts/account information and are unable to assist with errors such as this. However, I would recommend contacting your email provider for additional assistance since you will be unable to update your Microsoft account information without verification.

    For additional details regarding Microsoft accounts, please view Get help with your Microsoft account.

    Thank you,

    -Tali
