Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor, happy to assist you today.

If you know the email address that you used to set up your Microsoft account (which is used to sign in to your Xbox profile), you can reset your password now:
1. Go to Reset your password and enter your email address.
2. Select where you'd like to receive a security code (email or phone number).
3. Once you receive your security code, you'll be prompted to choose a new password and enter it twice. Passwords should be at least 8 characters long and should contain a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

To reset password, kindly visit: https://account.live.com/password/reset

You must have your Microsoft account email address to reset your password. If you've forgotten this email address, you'll need to recover it before you reset your password: https://support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/manage-account/forgot-microsoft-account-solution

I hope this helps resolve your query.

Typically threads are locked if they have been bumped after a long amount of time. I went ahead and unlocked the original thread since it wasn't super old.

I no longer use game anymore after they locked my account cos i got the password wrong 6 time. Now they want me to ring to unlock it. Can't be asked.

I do not have that option .. I have 3 options.

- No barriers.. all unlocked

- Ask for my passkey... for sign in, settings and purchase.

- Lock it down.. all locked.

I use “ask for passkey” but it still wants password for sign in and simple things as change wallpaper and so on.

How did you get the password for purchase only?

I have received a response a few days after posting and they told me to verify my account again. I did what they asked and reset my password again only to find my account is STILL LOCKED! It seems like no matter how many times I verify my account to be unlocked it remains locked. I don't know what to do at this point as each time I try to sign in, it only directs me to fill out an unlock request and I've done it multiple times only for it to not work. Is there a way I can contact someone directly about this issue or is there really no way to get my account unlocked?
