    Default I think I've been hacked :D

    Not my TWC account, no. Something far worse. My gamertag.

    See I'm looking to avoid all the "told you so comments" because I really do not care that it was hacked. But I figure I should prevent what I can. So this brings up another question which I have not had answered in, well ever, and in light of tighter security I figured I might as well ask here. How do you change the password/email to your windows live account or gamertag?

    Well what did you expect? TWC, neither the staff or the membership has any control over your gamertag, or your Hotmail account, nor are we Microsoft's customer service department. Take your problems there.

    Well contacting Xbox Support is a last ditch move, since it takes hours and hours and hours to do anything, IF your lucky. I was hoping there was something I missed when trying to find a solution to my problem that maybe someone else had found already that did not involve tech support.

    Since you didn't detail any part of your problem, at all, other than 'How do you change the password/email to your windows live account or gamertag?' which, seems to have a rather obvious solution, I'm not sure what you want people to do.

    This belongs in the Basement, too.

    I suppose you are right, this does belong in the basement. But I'm afraid of the dark and naturally do not notice such places. And it really not such an obvious solution. As I mentioned, it is for the one tied to the gamertag. I cannot find it and I am almost positive it may be impossible except for some methods learned only through support and such. Since I do not want to go to them when someone else may already have, I asked.

    I'll admit this is in the wrong forum. Everyone makes mistakes. But I would appreciate that you end the unnecessary hostility if you have nothing to add

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.


    The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.


    If you desire to be good, begin by believing that you are wicked.


    We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.


    οὕτως ἀταλαίπωρος τοῖς πολλοῖς ἡ ζήτησις τῆς ἀληθείας, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἑτοῖμα μᾶλλον τρέπονται.


    Questions are not necessarily there to be answered, but possibly there to inspire thinking.


    Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri, - quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes.


    If mind is common to us, then also the reason, whereby we are reasoning beings, is common. If this be so, then also the reason which enjoins what is to be done or left undone is common. If this be so, law also is common; if this be so, we are citizens; if this be so, we are partakers in one constitution; if this be so, the Universe is a kind of commonwealth.


    Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.


    There is no chaos in the world, only complexity.
    Knowledge of the complex is wisdom.
    From wisdom of the world comes wisdom of the self.
    Mastery of the self is mastery of the world. Loss of the self is the source of suffering.
    Suffering is a choice, and we can refuse it.
    It is in our power to create the world, or destroy it.


    Homo homini lupus est. Homo sacra res homini.


    When deeds speak, words are nothing.


    Human history is a litany of blood, shed over different ideals of rulership and afterlife


    Sol lucet omnibus.


    You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.


    Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.


    The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.


    Ο Νούς νοεί τον εαυτόν του ως κράτιστος και η νόησή του είναι της νοήσεως νόησις.


    'Nothing is true, everything is permitted.' is merely an observation of the nature of reality. To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
