I want to reset my password with my Minecraft activation code

I'm still logged into the Minecraft launcher on another computer. Is it possible to use that to recover it?

Hi Joni! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

This is not possible, you need to fill out the recovery from successfully or if you have added additional contact information like a backup email or a phone number

This is a guide to help you trough the recovery process

You can find a forgotten Microsoft account email address by using your Xbox console or several alternative methods. Note that the methods for finding adult and child accounts differ, so go to the section below that matches the type of account you need to find.

Thanks for getting back to me, but that isn't my problem, I think my old Minecraft account has been overwritten with a new one when I reset my password.

Something I noticed on a different computer that used to have my old gamertag account logged in. Was that the new gamertag that doesn't own Minecraft said "active", and the old, good account didn't have "active" and when I clicked the 3 dots to open a drop down menu for the account it said "Set as active." but when I clicked that and typed in the credentials for the account it said "welcome _____________" where the blank is the new, bad gamertag. Which brings me back to a point that I mentioned in my first post, my old Minecraft account I think has been overwritten with a new one when I reset my password.

I have tried a lot of things, but I think the only was to fix this is if there is a way that somebody can access my old account and re-establish it as the main one linked to my Microsoft account.

I have also contacted Minecraft support and am waiting for a response.

Sorry to hear that, you can try resetting your account password using this link:

https://account.live.com/password/reset

You can try all the emails you remember or if you had a phone number attached to the account, you can use that too.

Or you can try fill this other form too if you don't remember the email address https://account.live.com/acsr

Sadly, an account cannot be recovered with the gamertag alone.

Also, you could try alternative methods to recover your account here:

If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask
