  1. Microsoft has locked my account and I cant access anything or play on my Xbox


    I’m experiencing a very frustrating issue,where my regular hotmail account has ‘had suspicious activity’,and needs the password changed. The phone number I have on it is my old number which is not in use any more. I have never used the email account linked to my xbox account,and as such,have never sent emails from it. The automated server is giving me no joy and saying I haven’t provided enough information,despite me giving it all I know. I now cannot play my X-Box,which I have spent thousands on between the hardware,games,add ons etc,and to say i’m fuming is an understatement. Very p****d off at Microsoft,as no help is available and i’m at the end of my tether as I keep going in circles and getting nowhere. I just want to play MY MACHINE,with MY GAMES that I’ve paid a lot of cash for. :-(

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    :)

    Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, this is the only option we have to unlock a locked account due to suspicious activity.

    If you feel the need to contact Microsoft support, you can reach them by:

    1. Visit the Xbox Support website: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us/
    2. Click on the "Contact Us" button on the right of the screen.
    3. Select the issue you need help with and click on the "Next" option.
    4. Sign in to your Microsoft account.
    5. Follow the prompts to connect to a live chat agent.

    Just a friendly reminder that we are Xbox gamers just like you in this community. We are not Microsoft employees and we do not have access to your account or any tools to manage it.

    Kind Regards,
    Darhlene

    Hi George! My name is Darhlene and I’m here to assist you.

    I'm very sorry to hear about your current situation. I understand your frustration. Don't worry, I will help you get this sorted out.

    I understand that your account remains locked due to suspicious activity despite your attempts to recover your account. You can try to recover your account by submitting a reinstatement request form using this link:

    Unfortunately, in the agreements you agree too, you are responsible for keeping all your information up to date, this includes emails kept active by using them, phone numbers updated as soon as they are changed, this is the most important part of any account on any service, this is also how most other businesses operate and if you fail to update your information then you have not followed the terms and conditions of having an account.

    a Microsoft account IS the Xbox account and is also access to all of the other services via Microsoft. if the associated email is not used for a period of time it will auto close too.

    And all the game and DLC you own you don't actually own, you have a licence to use said software, this is what you purchased a licence to use the game or dlc, in those terms it states you must keep all your information up to date on your account.
