    Account Recovery for accounts in a Microsoft family


    Backstory: A hacker stole my sons Epic Games account, as he had some very rare skins for Fortnight. In the process his Microsoft account was locked due to suspicious activity.

    We have been trying to get the account reinstated for weeks.

    We cannot reset the password, as we dont have access to the email anymore and there was no mobile number associated with the account as he didnt have one. We have tried all the account Verifications, online account reinstatement, contacted live chat multiple multiple times, submitted requested information to prove identity, provided tax invoices, emails etc.

    His account was part of my microsoft family and I have been contacting live chat via my account. Which has also now been locked. ( I have a xbox live subscription current on this account.)

    I received an email from a microsoft agent saying they blocked that account to ensure it was secure. I replied that it was and to unblock it, but they wont reply.

    I was asked to create a new Microsoft account for my child, without a gamer tag for them to use to recover the original account. But after letting them know this has been done, they wont reply.

    My other son's microsoft account, who was part of my microsoft family is now also locked, so he cant use his xbox account either.

    Live chat keeps sending me around in circles, its so frustrating. And both my boys are upset.

    I am not getting anywhere with the Microsoft account recovery team. Is there an ombudsmen I could contact?

    Please help

    :)

For now, please allow me to do the best I can in helping you with the process.

    We do have this three-step account recovery here in Community. First is Reset of password next is to use Login Help Tool and lastly, is to reach out to live support team.

    Sons Microsoft/Xbox accounts blocked

    This is not a linked account, it's a family member account, but this doesn't work to recover accounts, in this cases the recovery form needs to be filled correctly, you can follow the suggestions here
