Hi, I'm John!

Does it look like the email address linked to your account was changed?

Also, please try searching for the account using these steps from Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/forgotten-your-microsoft-account-username-b2049472-3b8f-27d3-61c6-67a668453f4c Click on "Search" and follow the instructions provided.

If you receive any error messages, such as “account doesn’t exist” or anything else, please let me know.

    Follow these steps immediately to try to recover the Microsoft account and then the Minecraft access linked to it:

    1. Secure the device
      • Run a full antivirus/malware scan before changing any passwords. If using Windows 10 or 11, open Windows Defender from Start → search for “Windows Defender” and follow the instructions to turn on protection and run a full scan.
    2. Try to recover the hacked Microsoft account
      • Use the official “hacked or compromised account” flow: How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account.
      • If still able to sign in, change the password immediately and make it strong.
      • If unable to sign in, use the password reset option and, if needed, the account recovery form. Provide as much accurate information as possible (old passwords, subject lines of emails, etc.).
    3. If the hacker changed security info (email/phone)
      • If security info was replaced and codes now go to the attacker, recovery depends entirely on successfully completing the account recovery form.
      • If the form is repeatedly rejected and all security info has been changed, the account may be unrecoverable and support cannot override this.
    4. After regaining access
      • Check and clean up account settings as described in the hacked-account article:
        • Connected accounts
        • Forwarding rules
        • Automatic replies
      • Remove any aliases or sign-in emails that are not recognized.
      • Add safer verification methods (Microsoft Authenticator, updated phone/email) so codes no longer go to anyone else.
    5. Minecraft-specific access
      • Minecraft Java/Bedrock access is tied to the Microsoft account. Once the Microsoft account is recovered, Minecraft access should return.
      • If the Microsoft account cannot be recovered because all security info was changed and the recovery form fails, there is no guaranteed way to get the Minecraft license back. In that case, contact Minecraft support separately to see if they can offer any options.
    6. If recovery keeps failing
      • Use the Sign-in Helper tool referenced in the recovery-form guidance to ensure the correct path is being used.
      • If the recovery form still does not work and security info was replaced, there is no other method for Microsoft to restore the account.
