Help recover my old account

Hello ! So basically I have the same problem and I’m trying to recover my old account and the number in my old account is wrong so basically I pressed the button (I don’t have any of these) and I tried to answer all the questions, but my device is blocked and I cannot login into my old account, but the problem that my email with this old account is working but say there is no option that I can recover my password from the mail that I’m using it on my old account so yeah basically I want to recover my old account but I cannot because the number there I s wrong and I really need to recover my account and again my email which is the old account. Like I’m trying to recover my old Microsoft account on my email, but there is no recover button or like a reset the password from the mail

Thanks for the response. I have submitted my info using the link you sent me. I have never used these forums so I sorry if I am giving you guys a hard time, but I appreciate the help. We will both know if I can get back into my account in about 24 hours,
when the submission has been reviewed.

Hi JakobPeterson,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

We understand that you need help with your old account that you want to recover it. I would like to ask when was the last time you successfully sign in that account?

For the meantime, you may try to follow this guide on the support article about "account doesn’t exist": Learn more: I can't sign in to my Microsoft account - Microsoft Support





We look forward for your response.

Hi there,

to be able to switch an account to another Microsoft Account or change gamertag etc, you will need access to the account. So the thing you want to try is to regain access to that account, if you know security settings etc that can be very helpfull in the
process of recovering it.

See this link for the steps you can try:
support.xbox.com/.../forgot-microsoft-account-solution

The link will have all the steps you can try.

Also be aware that you shouldn't post any personal information in the forums, They will be removed from your post, since you probably can't edit it anymore.

Let us know the results

so I had a old xbox account that was attached to my moms work email and microsoft has stopped accepting work emails for account and when I try to sign into it it says the account doesn’t exist so I was wondering if microsoft has deleted the account or if there is a way to get it back

How old are we talking? When was the last time you logged in?

I ask because if you don't login to your xbox profile for 2 years or login to your associated Microsoft account for 5 years then they do delete it for inactivity.

If the account was already deleted then its too late to try and recover it
