Can't access Xbox account.

HippieToMars · Dec 17, 2019

I need to get into my Xbox account to update a few settings so I can get a Minecraft Realm on PE, however whenever I follow any link to my account it redirects to this link ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ge-childs-xbox-privacy-online-safety-settings ).
Why does it do this? I just want to log in.

It sounds like your account when it was originally setup was setup as a child account (DOB was set to under 18 in most countries)

What you would need to do is sign in with the adult account that would be tied to your account you can find this by signing into your account at account.microsoft.com/family and it will tell you what adult accounts are attached to your account.

Once you sign into the adult account and go to the online safety settings it will give you a choice to pick your xbox profile and change the settings on it.

Hi PraetoriSamurai! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

You can't access to a Xbox account without knowing the Email, as the Xbox account its not linked to the Xbox account, the Xbox account its part of the Microsoft account, if you can't remember the Email won't be possible to access that Gamertag

Actually i just saw the My Xbox tab, so I can get to account. BUT, It still says Loading above the sign out button, so help with that would be nice.

So you are referring to the Xbox.com site? Are you unable to see your account details on the console? What exactly are you trying to view or change?

Hello Shania H,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. My name is Lumie and I'm happy to help.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this problem. I understand how important recovering your account is to you.

Important: The account recovery form can only be used if two-step verification isn't turned on.

If you did not have 2FA active on the account, you will need to try the Account Recovery Form again: https://account.live.com/acsr

Detailed steps on how to use the Account Recovery Form can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/office/b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42

Microsoft takes account security very seriously, that's why Account Recovery is an automated process with no human influence. If you don't have the correct information, you may not be able to get through account verification using the Recovery Form.

The Account Recovery Form requires adequate information to prove that you are the owner of the account. The Account Recovery Process can be a time consuming process, but providing as much info as possible from the start of the process will increase the possibility of being verified by the automated process. You'll need to keep trying until you're verified by Microsoft.

Remember to use a familiar device from which you've frequently accessed your Microsoft account, as well as a familiar location. Microsoft will review your responses and respond within 24 hours. If you are verified, instructions on how to log back into your account will be sent to you, and if you are not verified, you will need to submit the Account Recovery form again. You can do this up to 2 times every 24 hours.

It's important to note that Microsoft Support will not be able to grant you access to your account, you will be sent back to the Account Recovery pages that have been linked above.

If your Microsoft account recovery request was not granted or was unsuccessful, please click the attached link for more information: https://support.microsoft.com/office/dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53

While it might not be the outcome you are looking for, if you’re unsuccessful in recovering your account, then you will need to create a new Microsoft account. You can do that by clicking this link: https://signup.live.com/

Let me know if you need more help.

Regards,
Lumie
