Hi Zain Raza,
I can understand why regaining this account is especially important when your Minecraft access and content work are connected to it.
Regarding the recovery code, Microsoft states that generating a new recovery code automatically invalidates any previously issued code. Therefore, the “code is not correct” message may mean that the code you saved is no longer the active one, although this cannot be confirmed from the forum.
If you are still signed in on any trusted device, browser, Xbox app, or Minecraft launcher, avoid signing out for now. Then use the Microsoft Sign-in Helper and enter the original Microsoft account address or another legitimate alias that previously belonged to the account. If the tool directs you to an ownership verification form, provide the original account information rather than the unfamiliar address.
Since this is a user-to-user support forum, contributors cannot inspect the account, remove the unfamiliar email address, or replace its security information. Microsoft Support must verify ownership through the official recovery process, and support agents cannot manually send password-reset links or change account details.
Please also avoid posting the complete unfamiliar email address, recovery code, passwords, purchase information, or verification codes in this public thread.
For reference: How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account and How to get a Microsoft account recovery code
I hope the Sign-in Helper can identify an available recovery option for the original account. Thank you so much for your understanding.
