Is there anyway to just fully reset my Minecraft account?

Hi,

I have been experiencing these ridiculous issues for years, and I will list them here.

Whenever I try to open the app and sign into Minecraft, it goes into this bootlooping-like sequence where it tries to open the sign-in page, it crashes and attempts to do it again before crashing, then that process repeats over and over again.

When I did fix this (note: I tried to launch Minecraft today, and that process started AGAIN.) I could not plat multiplayer or realms.

After everything I did to attempt to fix this (removing my account from the family account, making my account an adult account, if you ask me if I have done something I've already done, I will say so) NOTHING worked.

I am thinking the only thing I can do is either: get someone at Microsoft/Mojang to just fix my account, or just FULLY reset it.

If it helps, my OS is Linux.

    Account-level resets for Minecraft are not available. There is no supported way to “fully reset” a Microsoft/Mojang account; recovery and fixes are limited to:

    1. Fixing sign-in and account issues through Microsoft’s account tools.
    2. Adjusting Xbox/Microsoft family and privacy settings (for multiplayer/Realms).
    3. Working with Minecraft Support for game‑specific issues.

    From the provided information, the only supported paths are:

    1. For hacked/compromised or broken Microsoft accounts, the official recovery and troubleshooting flow must be used. If the automated recovery form cannot validate ownership, the account cannot be manually fixed or reset by support.
    2. For Minecraft‑specific ownership or access problems, Minecraft Support can review the game profile and may offer alternatives, but they do not provide a “full reset” of the Microsoft account itself.
    3. For child/organizer multiplayer permission issues, changes made on the organizer account (e.g., “You can join multiplayer games”) can take time to propagate before the child account can actually join multiplayer.

    Given that, the only supported options are:

    • Use the official Microsoft account hacked/compromised and recovery guidance to ensure the Microsoft account itself is healthy.
    • If the account is unrecoverable via the automated process, it cannot be reset manually; a new Microsoft account would be required.
    • Contact Minecraft Support specifically about the Minecraft profile if multiplayer/Realms access remains blocked after permissions are correctly set and have had time to propagate.

    The Linux OS detail does not change these account‑side limitations; the reset/repair options are all account‑service based, not OS based.
