    Recovering Microsoft password for my child's account.


    I have lost my daughter's password for her Microsoft account which she uses on the family x-box. I have tried recovering the password/account using my email as the alternative email address, however the information I supply apparently isn't enough (I've tried several times and filled in all the questions as best I can). I have bought her games on her account which she now cannot access. How can I access her account or get a refund for the games I've bought her? It seems impossible to talk directly to a human who works for Microsoft to sort it out and their 'virtual assistant' is worse than useless.

    :)

    Recovering Microsoft password for my child's account.

    We understand your frustration if you discover you can't recover the account. The account recovery process is designed to protect your account and its contents.

    This means our support agents and advocates can't do more than you can do for yourself with the account recovery form. They don't have the ability to send you password reset links or provide you other ways to access or change account details.

    What you can do...

    Fill out the account recovery form again We recommend that you try filling out the account recovery form again. You can do this up to two times per day. Do this if you find more information or remember something else about your account that will help.

    Create a new Microsoft account You can always create a new Microsoft account in the interim if you’re having trouble with the recovery request and try again later when you remember something new that might help.

    Add security and recovery features to your new account If you decide to create a new Microsoft account we recommend you follow the guidance to add one or more additional security contact info methods to your account right away. Review and set up an alternative sign in methods, such as the Microsoft Authenticator app to use to sign into your account.

    Recovering Microsoft password for my child's account.

    Thank you for the reply, unfortunately the recovery request wasn’t granted and, because I was one day over the 2 week refund time period my refund was refused. I have to say I find this extremely frustrating and the refund rule pointlessly rigid. Common sense and little empathy would lead most people to see that my request for a refund was perfectly reasonable. All this has done is make me resent Microsoft and be less likely to use your services in future where there is an alternative.

    Recovering Microsoft password for my child's account.

    Hello RobD123,

    Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

    Microsoft takes security and privacy very seriously. Please follow the steps outlined in this guide to reset a forgotten Microsoft account password.

    If you follow all of the steps in the above guide, fill out the recovery form and the account recovery wasn’t granted, you may request a refund for the digital games for your child’s account.

    Please note that these are refund requests and do not guarantee a refund.

    Protect your Microsoft account for the future. Take a look at our tips in Help protect your Microsoft account. We especially recommend you take a look at our Do’s and Don’ts for creating a strong password, and that you consider using two-step verification and the Microsoft Authenticator app to help strengthen your account security and to sign-in without passwords.



    Sincerely,
