Windows 10: Old account info is lost. Password lost. Birthday wrong.

I never use Microsoft but may have had an account a long time ago. I see an account exists, but for some reason the birthday listed is wrong. I entered my correct birthday and got locked out while trying to recover this old account. Needless to say, now I can't log in.

Lost password on an Old Account, any way to merge accounts?

1) I hope I haven't broken the rules
2) I created a new account because I couldn't remember the password to the old one
3) Not sure. I like the 2005 reg date in a vanity sense and I was doing some lookup stuff with that account to trouble shoot my friend's pc (friend bought my old opteron / 7800GT rig) back in 2009.

Okay its probably hopeless then. *Frown .

I doubt Wiz will be able to merge the accounts. However, he should be able to get you access to the old account, he'll just need to know what the email address was that you originally registered it under and he can change the email address associcated with the account once you give him the necessary info and then you can request a password reset.

AFAIK, having multiple account isn't technically against the rules unless you are using the second account to get around posting restrictions. Like if you were banned or have infractions that prevent you from posting on the forums and use the second account to post.

Site was pwnd not so long ago resulting in a general member password reset
so unless you reset your password since then your old account password wont work.
