Recovering an account from xbox 360

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.

Hello, yes this is the case, you first need to add all of the accounts on your own XBOX 360 (the XBOX 360 where the Family membership is purchased) by recovering the gamertags to the XBOX 360. Then add them to the family account, after that process is complete
the other family members are free to recover their accounts back to their own XBOX 360's.

Hi Sans, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Sans, before Microsoft there is only one method for account recovery, for which you must know all the data of that account since you must prove to the system that you are actually the holder of that account.

Go to https://account.microsoft.com/. Once there, they must click on the circle in the upper right corner of the screen. Then click login.

If as a user you do not have any of the recovery options connected to your account, you should click on the selection that says "I do not have any of these". When you click on that link, they will be sent to a Microsoft form. You must complete it, including all pertinent information, and Microsoft will contact you and try to help them recover to regain access to your account.

If the user has forgotten their login information, they should go to login. Choose your login options. This will ask you to enter an alternate email address associated with the account or a phone number.

If the user does not have another linked account to help provide account access, it is recommended to create another account. Once they create the account, they must use the new account to log in and select "forgotten password". By choosing the option "I forgot my password", you will be sent the link to the form mentioned above. completed the form Microsoft will contact you.

Please note that this is only a public forum, I will respond to you in a short period of time within the possible apologizing in advance for any delay in response. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.

Regards

Don't have another 360 (or access to one) to do this with. I removed the HDD from the system and tried to recover to a flash drive which ended up with the same results. I've tried deleting the account from the 360 to recover it, same results.

Hi there,

The Xbox 360s allowed the ability for console owners to have local accounts on them. Local accounts were just that - accounts with no email/Microsoft account attached to it. Unfortunately if a local account is deleted from an Xbox 360, and no backup was
saved to another memory unit (hard drive, or USB device) there is no way to recover it, or any of the items tied to it.
