  1. I am trying to recover my old account but it seems impossible.


    I made a xbox 360 account when i was a kid many many years ago, I can see the last time i logged on is 10 years ago. anyways i lost access to it back then because i was a kid and i used a fake email to make it, and when the day came that you had to like verify (i dont remember exactly) they sent something out and for obvious reasons i couldnt verify it so i kind of just gave up on my account back then.

    so what i am trying to say is i don't have a linked email and even if it was i cant for the live of me remember it.

    I have my gamertag and i think my old password i can remember bits of the fake email i used is there any way i can recover this.

    the reason if anyone is wondering why now, well my favorite games back then and you can look it up "DnD PeteTheKing" my last played games was mw2 2009

    and that game just got fixed apparently and i want to jump back on again and have some fun. i even remember purchases made in some games for dlc packs as well. and card holder names

    :)

    This wont help me it says

    "What Microsoft account are you trying to get back into?

    Email, phone, or Skype name"

    All i have is my gamertag which doesnt even have a linked email to it, i lost my account back then when that became a thing that you had to verify your email and stuff.

    when i signed up you could use fake emails and yeah being like 11 or 12 years old not knowing better that's what i did, well so it seems that i will never get my old account back and there is to my knowledge no way of getting in contact with microsoft them self..

    Hello Peter, I would like to clarify that, unfortunately, a gamertag is not enough proof of account ownership.

    If you’re not able to fill out the account recovery form, I’m afraid to say that it is not possible to get the account back.

    Hello and thanks for your reply, i am afraid this wont work, because i dont have the email and even if i did it was a fake email anyways that didnt belong to me. so would this stil benefit me, to me it looks like you need atleast your linked email to the account, and i dont even have an email linked to the account other than what i did when i signed up.

    Hello Peter, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

    Not a Microsoft employee.

    I'm sorry to hear you lost access to your Microsoft account.
    When we lose access to our accounts, we can try to recover it by following all the recommendations available in this related article:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com...

    If none of the options work, the last resource is submitting the Microsoft account recovery form:

    https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/h...

    Lastly, and as a reminder, please notice that no one at Microsoft change account details, or send password reset links to you, this is for security policies.
