Before you begin filling out the form

Before filling out the account recovery form make sure you have a working email that Microsoft can use to communicate with you. It will also help if you fill out the form from a recognized device and location.

1. Have a working email

You’ll need a working email account that you can access. We’ll use this account to send you information about your request. You can use any active email account, even one belonging to a friend or relative. If you don’t have another email account that you can access, you can create a temporary outlook.com account for free by selecting Create one at the Microsoft account sign in page.

If you recently bought a new one, try to get the hardware ID from your old console.
