  1. Old Xbox Account


    About 5 years ago when I was a lot younger I had an Xbox account made by my parents. Since then I had gotten an Xbox one and the creator of my account had passed away. I had spent a lot of money on the account and had a lot of cool games that are now backwards
    compatible. I also had a lot of stuff leveled up on different games. I know the Xbox gamer tag and a few different details about the account. I may even know the email. Is there any possibility of me getting this account back it would mean a lot to me.

    :)

    Old Xbox Account,

    You said you were signed in on the console. If this is the case then the email will show on the upper right corner of the screen.

    If the email address is no longer valid then you'll need to change it on the console. However, if the password is required to change the email address then you may have an issue doing that.

    hi dark master

    This might be a bit tricky. You said you can still sign in on Xbox but no other stuff?

    For 360 go to Settings > Account > Security (it should show ther current e-mail)

    For Xbox One go to All Settings > Sign-in, Security, and Passcodes to see the e-mail address

    The best possible option would be to attempt a password reset at
    https://account.microsoft.com
    (Forgot Password)

    Another possible thing you can do is contact Xbox Support to open an Unauthorised Access case if you feel your Microsoft Account has been compromised. They may ask you questions like:

    • Full Name on the account
    • Gamertag and e-mail address
    • Console ID
    • Xbox Live Device ID
    • IP Address (they can match it this way too)
    • And they'll ask you to create a new e-mail address (if they have determined your account has been compromised they will attatch the gamertag (dark master1357) to the e-mail address they asked you to create)
    The investigation usually takes a few days or sooner

    You can chat to them at

    http://support.xbox.com/contact-us

    P.S - If you open an Unauthorised Access case, be sure to make it clear to them you have no access to the affected e-mail, they'll ask for a best contact e-mail, but they'll still ask you to create a new one and are seperate but needed

    I hope this helped you in some way! Keep me updated :)

    Old Xbox Account,

    Hi,

    if you are able to log in to Xbox.com you can change it without access to your email. If you want to change the mail, you will be ask to confirm your email and the system wants to send you a code. At this point you can chose the option, that you don't have
    access to this email anymore. Then follow the instructions.

    Old Xbox Account,

    Sorry but phone support cannot help with a forgotten password. If you are signed in on the 360 then stay on dash until the email shows up in the upper right hand corner. From there you could try signing in to xbox.com and selecting the forgot password
    option to change it.
