I forgot my email and passsword for a previous account and don't know what all is need to get it back when calling!

Can someone please tell me what all is needed for information when calling xbox to try and get a code to reset my password and email.

I don't remember the if I used a secondary email when setting up my account so if I did happen to forget it I was safe with a password reset going to someone else email. Here is the issue I don't know what kind of questions will be asked when calling. Example I can't give the email address since I'm not sure if there was a second one setup or not. Plus I don't know what all can be done if anything. I do know I have purchased game downloads in the past from xbox but they always went into my main account. And that is the account I can't get into. So any advice would be great thank you.

P.S. I have tried to use some other emails I could think of and nothing worked. So I don't know if the code goes to email or phone number. And I recently got a new phone in April with a new number.

If anyone has any advice on how to get my account back please let me know thank you.

Hi there Dawn welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. I recovered multiple accounts in the past (that I have forgotten the passwords to) like this:

You need to create another account. Once you make the account, you should use the new account to login and select “forgot password.”

Choosing the “forgot password” option will send you a link to fill out some questions and information so Microsoft can verify that is your account, then you need to wait for Microsoft to contact you for more assistance and the recover your account!
