    Password issue


    Basically,

    I forgot my email password after changing it, I then assumed my xbox password changed with it foolishly (got confused with outlook, it's gmail). So i tried many potential passwords into my xbox account that all flagged incorrect until log in was blocked for trying too many times

    I then realised it wasn't the same as gmail, and my password had never actually changed. Tried my Xbox password which I know is correct and i'm STILL unable to log in as there's been too many failed attempted. I then tried the password recovery form, which came successful, and I was emailed a password reset link

    Upon clicking it, I receive this message:

    "For security purposes, you need to know the Microsoft account that you're trying to recover. Please enter it and click Next to continue."

    I literally do this, and the account is not recognised. It `100% does exist because a) I used it for over 6 years b) I already went through the password reset recovery process using it and it was authorised, it even shows it with asterisks on the email c) When i try to log in with it, i am shown the failed log in screen, meaning microsoft has it on it's records.

    I try with the email and my skype name, with no luck

    Please help. I am tempted to go through the password recovery form again however have concerns i could be locked out further for trying again as i know microsoft doesn't like it when you attempt something on numerous occasions

    Thanks

    :)

    Hi,

    To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the details below:

    1. Are you still able to sign in on the
    Microsoft Account website
    ?

    2. Are there any error messages when you sign in to the game?

    If you forgot the password of the account you can reset your password on this
    link
    .

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Suggest you get the fellow whose email you used to forward to you the reset password verify code (which will allow you to update JUST the Microsoft Account and won't affect his Gmail in the slightest), and otherwise you will just cancel the account out from
    under him anyway - but, be diplomatic which will increase your chance of success. If he does help, then do
    Settings | Account | --> --> Account Security | Change Microsoft Account and slide a new Microsoft Account addresse you can create at
    http://signup.live.com underneath your gamertag: Problem Solved!

    If he fails to support you, you can then call Support and have them cancel the subscription and give you the time remaining in the form of PPC codes, then go to
    http://signup.live.com to create your own Microsoft Account, and create your own gamertag at
    http://xbox.com by signining up for LIVE where you can use the codes you were given.

    The only thing you can do to recover this account is go to
    Http://account.live.com
    and click on can't access your account? enter your email address and use one of the options it give you to reset the password

    If you can't use any of the options it give you then click on the link that says can't use any of these options? and fille out the questionaire

    first you are going to get an email at the alternate email address you put saying it will take 24 hours to hear a responce back.

    the next email you will get will depend on the information provided. one will say you have provided us with enough information and give you a password reset link

    the other will say you have not provided us with enough infomration and there will be a reference number.

    if you get the second one the call xbox support at 1-800-4MY-XBOX and provide them with the reference number and the console ID number from the xbox and they should be able to do more for you.
