I can't get xbox live because I have to enter a password.

If you can't sign in to an Xbox Live profile on your console, here are other ways to find your Microsoft account OR recover your password.

• Go to login.live.com and try signing in with what you think is your Microsoft account (email address and password). If you can sign in, the email address and password you entered are valid. Next, go to Xbox.com and try signing in with this same information. If you're prompted to create an Xbox profile, the Microsoft account you entered is not currently associated with an Xbox Live account. Otherwise, you will sign in and see your gamertag in the upper-right corner of the screen. This email is associated with an Xbox Live account.
• Check your email accounts for messages about your Xbox Live membership (search for messages about "Xbox Live" or "Microsoft billing"). This may help you determine which email address is associated with your Xbox Live membership.
• If you have forgotten your password, when attempt to login, click the "Can't access your account?" link below the credential boxes and then select "I forgot my password." You'll then be brought through a step-by-step process to recover your account password.

Although you can sign into Xbox LIVE without the need for your LIVE password, you cannot add Microsoft points or buy games without entering your LIVE account information.

All Xbox LIVE accounts are tied into your Microsoft Windows Live account. If you forgot your Windows Live email and password, you can reset your password, but not your email.

Since your email was used to register you to the LIVE network, you had to have used a legitimate email address when you signed up.

Visit the Windows Live login page (see Link Below).

Click "Sign in." Click the "Forgot your password?" link.
Select "I forgot my password" and "Reset your password."


Enter the email address you think you used for Xbox LIVE. Continue entering email addresses that you've used in the past.

Once you enter the correct one, a new page will appear.
You can guess your email as many times as you want.

Select "Email me a reset link."
Click "Next."

Open the email account you send the password to.
If you forgot your password to that email, use the email client's password recovery tool.

Open the "Xbox LIVE" email and click on the provided link.
The link will redirect you to the password reset page.

Enter your new password twice.
Click "Next."

Turn on your Xbox 360 and sign into your Xbox LIVE profile. You should be able to enter your new information to log on to your account and access anything on Xbox LIVE, such as buying a game.

Hi. You just need to configure your adapter. It is not broken, it just needs to be set up properly. For information on how to do this, please see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908877

From the XBox website:


Managing Xbox LIVE Activity
Xbox LIVE Controls come into play only when you take Xbox 360 online, and they're linked to a child's profile and gamertag. When an Xbox LIVE account is created, the service asks for the member’s age to determine whether to apply Family Settings to that account.
Parents are also required to create or use an existing Windows Live ID. The Windows Live ID is associated with the child’s Xbox LIVE account and protects the settings from being changed later by the child. To change a child’s settings, first select the child’s account name and connect to Xbox LIVE. Once signed in, enter your Windows Live ID password to unlock the settings.
To see these controls, go to My Xbox, open System Settings, then selectFamily Settings, Xbox LIVE Controls.
