  1. Is there a way I can get the number changed so I can reset my password?


    The password for my Microsoft account with Outlook needs to be reset, but when I get the option to send a code to a phone number, it's a phone number I haven't used before. I tried to change it in Microsoft but because I need to reset my password, I can't sign in. I've tried to send multiple forms to reset my password, but they keep getting denied. Is there any other way I can get the number changed so I can reset my password?

    :)

    Is there a way I can get the number changed so I can reset my password?

    Hi Ashton, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I truly am sorry to hear that.

    Without access to your phone number, you will need to speak directly with a Microsoft Agent and try to recover your account.

    I kindly ask you to speak with the Microsoft Staff.

    Please enter this link:

    https://support.microsoft.com/help/28808/microsoft-store-contact-support

    They can check your information and verify it.

    Last 2 months been trying to get help this is a last ditch effort

    The only way it lets me reset my password is with a number that ends in 34 but nobody in my family has that number i used to be able to reset it by email but the hacker changed that

    Hello I have another account I need to get in too

    Hello I have Ben trying to get into my account for about half of a year now my account was locked out but it isn’t anymore and I don’t know my password and I can reset it because it sends it to a random phone number or a phone number I don’t have anymore but on my Xbox I have the account I’m trying to get into but when I try to reset password it still sends it to a unknown phone number so I can get into the account but I can’t reset the password is there still anyway I can reset my password or am I just stuck with the unknown one I have now
    Also I am scared to guess my password to many times and lock my account out again

    Is there any way I can get my password back?

    Hello Jo, thank you for reaching out! My name is Victor, I'm an Independent Advisor and member of the Microsoft Xbox Community like you. I hope you are having a good day despite this issue.

    Due to the nature of your question, I find it important to remind you that we're simply gamers and users of Microsoft Xbox products and services here on the forums, and as such do not have access to other user's personal account information like associated e-mails or passwords. Furthermore, this is a public forum, so please be careful to never share any information that may be used to identify you or put your account or your own safety at risk.

    As for your options to hopefully recover the account, you said you lost the backup email on the account, but if you are still signed in on the web you may be able to add a new sign-in option, like another e-mail or phone number, on your account's security tab by clicking on "manage how I sign in" and selecting "add new" (https://account.microsoft.com/security). After that, you'd be able to use this new option as a verification method when attempting to reset your password:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    If that's not an option for you, unfortunately your only other way to recover your account is through the Account Recovery Form (https://account.live.com/acsr), because even Live Chat Support (https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us) cannot provide or change our sign-in information (including the password) if we can't prove account ownership through the Recovery Form, for security reasons (see image below).

    Source: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

    Thank you very much for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. Take care!

    I Can't Get My Password Reset.

    You are un-able to have your password sent to another email that was previously set up as an alternative email address for security purposes. Although, if you have an Xbox you could view you account in the Account tab and be able to figure out the email
    that way. If you know the security information set up for the account you could possibly get into the account with this link :https://account.live.com/acsr For any future deals with your Account
    like this you would have to call Microsoft Support to get more information, the number is: (800) MICROSOFT (642-7676) and the hours are: Monday through Friday, 5:00 AM- 9:00 PM Pacific Time | Saturday and Sunday, 6:00 AM – 3:00 PM Pacific Time.

    Hope this helps!
