  1. Gamertag no longer linked to my account


    Dear Xbox support,

    I'am having some trouble with my xbox account. My gamertag is: nielsono

    I'm posting this thread with the account/email this gamertag should be linked to.

    So after a couple of years not playing on my Xbox, I wanted play some games again today. When I tried logging in on my gamertag It said something is wrong and the account is not working. I can see my gamertag on the xbox, I just cant seem to log in.

    I tried to log in on my pc, and this worked. However, the problem there was that my gamertag is gone and it gave me a new gamertag and looked like i just made a whole new account with no games, friends etc.. So i don't know if something happened to my account
    because I didn't use it for a couple of years or that something else happened.

    Is there any way you guys can recover my account(gamertag) with all the achievements, friends etc.?

    Btw I'm using an xbox 360

    and I'm sure I'm using the right email and password Gamertag no longer linked to my account ;)










    :)

    Microsoft account linked to gamertag no longer exists

    Hello SantiagoBarbosa,

    Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

    If you still have access to your Xbox 360, you can try powering it on and seeing if your account is still signed in. If it is:

    Navigate to your Settings and then select Account.

    Once in Account, scroll right to Your Information and then Account Security.

    You should see the Microsoft Account which will display the email that you are looking for.

    Below I've provided a link to a guide from Microsoft support that will walk you through what you should do when you forget your Microsoft account username or associated email address. Try reading through the documentation and following the steps.

    Link: You forgot your Microsoft account username

    Since you have tried signing into an account but cannot remember the password, I would first try resetting your password. If that doesn't work, you can also try filling out the account recovery form located here: Recover your account (live.com)

    [Let us know if this answered your question by tapping "Yes" below]

    Gamertag no longer linked to email

    I would suggest signing into the account on the xbox website and try to add a windows live id to the account then try re-adding it to your console.

    Can i have some help?

    Couple possibilities here.

    1. If your password is longer then 16 characters then it will not allow you to sign in the 360 does not like passwords longer then 16 characters.

    here is a link to reset your password

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/microsoft-account/change-microsoft-account-password?lc=1033

    2. If you changed your gamertag recently you would need to redownload your profile. Here is a link on how to do that.

    Deleting Xbox live account without deleting windows live

    Switch gamertags between two Microsoft accounts

    If you try to switch your Xbox LIVE gamertag to a Microsoft account that is already linked to another gamertag, you will receive a message that says “the Microsoft account (or Windows Live ID) you’re switching to is already linked to another Xbox account.”

    Before you can switch your gamertag in this case, you must first remove the existing gamertag from that Microsoft account:

    1.Create a new Microsoft account. You will only need this new account as a temporary means of moving your gamertags. After the gamertags have been switched, you will no longer need this Microsoft account.

    Example:

    Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.

    Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

    To swap gamertags A and B between Microsoft accounts 1 and 2, first create a third temporary account: Microsoft account 3.

    2.Switch the gamertag that is linked to the Microsoft account you want to use to the new temporary account you have just created.

    Example:

    Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 1.

    Switch gamertag B to Microsoft account 3.

    Microsoft account 2 is now free.

    3.Now switch your gamertag to the Microsoft account you want to use.

    Example:

    Switch gamertag A to Microsoft account 2.

    Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 3.

    Microsoft account 1 is now free.

    4.To complete the swap of gamertags between the two original Microsoft accounts, you must wait 30 days. (A gamertag can be switched only once every 30 days.)

    Example:

    Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 2.

    After 30 days, switch gamertag B to Microsoft account 1.

    Microsoft account 3 is now free and no longer needed.
