  1. Account is 'locked', please help!


    If someone could help me it would GREATLY be appreciated. Here's the situation:

    So after a couple of years of going unused I started using my Xbox 360 again because my PS3 broke. I decided to get the live membership on my old account
    [Mod Removed], gamer tag is 'Mitcheeta') because it had all my achievements and Halo rankings (especially for Reach, it's such a pain to get ranks in that game). Now I tried to change the accounts email to something more recent but that's when
    I found out I couldn't manually sign into the account! My Xbox 360 signs me in automatically so I didn't even know. I thought maybe I had forgotten my password (but I had only ever used two passwords for accounts in my entire life and neither worked...). I
    went to sign on at the website so I could find some solution and as it turns out Microsoft wanted me to verify myself or something. Now the options were either:

    A. They'd send a code to another account. I tried this but the account it sent the code to ALSO wanted me to verify myself and thus couldn't login ([Mod Removed]).

    B. I had to answer a question. The question was something along the lines of "where was your mother born?" Now the answer to that question would normally be Toronto but it didn't work. I fear when I made that account (back when I was in like grade 6, I'm
    in college now) I didn't actually put the right answer in...

    C. I have to fill in some questionnaire. Now this is impossible, it asked questions like "what were the titles of your most recently sent emails?" I haven't used the account in years! How am I suppose to know?

    I pretty much gave up at this point and thought it was fine because my Xbox 360 signs me in automatically regardless. I just hoped it would never ask me to manually log in... As it turns out it did like the next day for some additionally security BS (seriously,
    what's with all the security? Do people actually have sensitive info on their hotmail accounts... Sorry I'm just super salty over this). Now I can't login and my Xbox Membership is wasting away. Account is 'locked', please help! :(

    If someone could tell me what to do or, better yet, if some amazing Microsoft employee could somehow remedy this online that would be a God send. I'll call Microsoft too IF someone can confirm they CAN help and it won't just be fruitless. I have really bad
    anxiety over the phone so I'd rather not if possible... Please someone help or just say outright I'm
    [Mod Removed]because then I'll just begrudgingly make a whole new account and get another membership (I really hope this isn't the case, I really don't want to lose all my collective accomplishments for the system).

    :)

    For this issue I recommend contacting Xbox Support on the phone, they should be able to help you out.

    Outlook account locked please help

    Hi Jen,

    Thanks for your advice but no joy still I'm afraid - I've never sent emails from the outlook account that I can think of as it was only set up for my xbox. I've completed the form several times again with my EXACT gamertag, console ID and billing details but it still says not enough information ? It's so frustrating now, I've spent days Trying to unlock the account now and no support from Microsoft at all ?

    Outlook account locked please help

    Hi, DanCreasey1.

    I'm Jen, an Outlook user just like you. I'm not working for Microsoft but I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

    I understand you're trying to recover your Microsoft account linked to your Xbox. Since you mentioned that you no longer have access to the verification options, I know how challenging it would be to answer the recovery form. Unfortunately, there are no support agents who can help us with password reset links or account recovery as explained in the "Account recovery wasn't granted" section in the article below. However, I would still encourage you to retry whenever you remember any additional details about the account and you can also check the "More tips when filling out the recovery form" section in the same link for additional help.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    I hope it goes well.

    Kind regards,

    JC

    Help me please locked account

    Hello Yusuf, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

    Not a Microsoft employee.

    I'm sorry to hear that your account has been locked after attempting to recover it.
    It is completely understandable that my following comment is going to be frustrating for you, but I must inform you that if Microsoft support wasn’t able to assist you with recovering or unlocking the account, here in the forums no one is capable of further assisting with this.
