Hi!

The only info I have is the username associated with the minecraft account, but nothing else. I've tried contacting minecraft support but they told me to contact microsoft. I've been trying to contact microsoft by phone and email but nothing so now im here. The account has different skins and texture packs assoicated with it so I want to get it back instead of having that money in the void

    If only the Minecraft username is available, the practical path is to recover the Microsoft account username first or check devices and services where that account was already used.

    Steps that are supported:

    1. Try Microsoft username recovery if any security info was added.
      • Use the username recovery flow described in the Microsoft account guidance.
      • If a phone number or alternate email was previously added, Microsoft can send a security code and show a hint of the account email.
    2. Check devices or apps where the account may already be signed in.
      • On a Windows 10/11 device: Start > Settings > Accounts. Under Email & app accounts, review the usernames associated with the device.
      • In Office apps such as Word or Excel: File > Account. Under Product Information, check Belongs to for the associated username.
      • Check email inboxes for Microsoft receipts or messages related to purchases, subscriptions, games, skins, or texture packs.
    3. Try alternate email addresses that may have been used as aliases.
      • If an alternate address such as Outlook, Gmail, or Live was ever added to the same Microsoft account, try signing in with that address.
    4. If the email address is known but it is unclear whether it is a Microsoft account, test it at the Microsoft account sign-in page.
      • If the page says the account does not exist, that address is not a Microsoft account.
      • If it prompts for a password, that address is a Microsoft account.
    5. If sign-in is still blocked, use the Sign-in Helper first.
      • Microsoft recommends the Sign-in Helper before the account recovery form.
    6. If recovery is needed, complete the Microsoft account recovery form.
      • Gather as much account history as possible.
      • For Outlook or Hotmail accounts, exact email subject lines and contact details can help.
      • Old passwords used on the account can also help.
      • Microsoft reviews recovery form submissions and responds within 24 hours.
    7. If the issue is specifically with the Minecraft account linkage, the accepted guidance in Microsoft Q&A is to contact Minecraft support for Minecraft account problems.

    Important limits:

    • Microsoft support agents cannot send password reset links or access and change account details.
    • If two-step verification is enabled and none of the alternate verification methods are accessible, support cannot bypass that protection.
