How to get an old account back with no password or gmail?

Michael Callaway1 · Jun 27, 2023

I'm here because I need help accessing an old account that I had. Unfortunately, I don't remember the associated email or password, but I do know the username. I understand that it may be difficult for you to assist me with just the username, but if there's any way you can try, I would greatly appreciate it. I miss my old account dearly. Xbox account username - xXtension49. Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

Hi, Michael. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please try to recover the correct email using this link, https://account.live.com/username/recover.

You will need to enter an alternate email or phone number that you know that might be associated with the account.

If that doesn't work, please try the other steps from this link, https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro....

Sorry to say, but you're not going to be able to recover your account with just your Gamertag. Can you imagine how abused any service that allowed looking up someone's e-mail address based on their Gamertag would be? The level of spam, harassment and vitriol some members of our community would, unfortunately, deliver would be astounding.

If you know a phone number or Skype username associated with the account you can try the recovery process at https://account.live.com/acsr otherwise I'm not sure what your options are.

Regards,

let me break it down...

The old xbox was given away, so the user wants to recover their account/gamertag on their new xbox.

They used their Gmail address to sign in to the new xbox as the old email/pwd would not let them sign in saying it was associated with another xbox ...

So they've signed in using the gmail account and downloaded their gamertag, they want to make sure the user of the old xbox cannot sign onto their account, how can they do this?

When they try to put a password in place it says their microsoft account password isnt required when they sign in on 4 other consoles... how can they continue to use their gamertag and block it from being used on the old xbox?

Your assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Loco

Thanks but my contact preferences are already set to my hotmail account, the problem is that I still get some notifications sent to my old gmail account.

I no longer want my gmail account associated with my xbox live account and I can't see how to remove it.

I lost the password to my old account and have no way of getting my old account back as I lost my password and can’t get it back.
