Hello,

I work as a legal guardian and one of my clients would like to get into his Microsoft Account to play his Xbox. He had a Traumatic Brain Injury due to being struck by a motor vehicle and he doesn't know the password associated with his email. How can i get into the account to use the Xbox? His email is [Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed]@gmail.com] and the gamertag for it is[Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed]

Thanks!
