Recover Xbox Account with ONLY Gamertag?

lcysolo · Dec 25, 2023

I've been trying to recover my old Xbox account for a couple of weeks now. I found the gamertag (FoxSaysWhatVII) and the Gamerscore (2,090). I've been using many different email addresses and passwords to recover it, but none of them seem to work. I'm unable to find anything related to that account besides its Gamertag. I lost the account after 2 years of stopping using my Xbox and didn't think to write down the email or change it to a more recognizable one. The Xbox is also misplaced, so I couldn't look on the actual Xbox for anything. I attempted to search through Xbox support forums, but none seemed to help me in the right way. ( https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/my-account/microsoft-account/forgot-microsoft-account does not apply to me since I don't remember anything besides the gamertag for the account, nor have I used the email for anything else.)

Is there any possible way that I could recover the account even without remembering the email or password?

Delete the Gamertag from the Xbox 360 Console. Only delete the Gamertag. Recover the Gamertag. You will need the Windows Live ID and Password to Recover that account.

Is there anyway you can find it as without being able to provide lots of information to show you own the account, its unlikely they will recover the account back to you?

Thank you for helping, but the first question asks me what the email, phone number, or skype to the Xbox account which the issue is that I don't know the email or password.

My pleasure, glad you got it recovered.

Hello ! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

The recovery form is one of the only ways to recover your account. They do ask a lot of questions as they have to be sure they are giving access to the account owner.
