1. Check for service alerts

If you get Xbox error 8015D000 on your console, the first thing to do is check for Xbox Live service status alerts page, or if you’re on the Xbox page, check if the service alert is displayed. If there are any alerts, you can wait for a few before trying to use the console again.

2. Check your password and log in details

As mentioned earlier, Xbox error 8015D000 could occur when you key in the wrong login details such as email or password. Ensure you have entered the correct credentials and try again.

3. Confirm that your account is active

Microsoft is always checking for unusual activity on Outlook.com or Hotmail.com, so if it finds or notices any such strange activity, your account may be temporarily blocked for your own protection.

If your account has been blocked, go to account.live.com and sign in, then follow the instructions to undo/remove the block. Once your account is active, try again.

4. Check that you’re using the right Microsoft account

If you have multiple Microsoft accounts, you could be trying to log in with the wrong one. You need to sign in with the account associated with your gamertag. To ensure you’re using the right one, do the following:

  • Go to the top of any Xbox.com page, and sign in
  • Use the same Microsoft account email address and password you are trying to use on your Xbox console
  • If there are any issues with your Microsoft account, follow the prompts to correct those issues.
  • If you’re signed in to the wrong gamertag, or Microsoft prompts you to create a new account, you are probably using the wrong Microsoft account.

5. Use another Microsoft account

If the Xbox Live account you’re using is a child account, you can use it and sign in using you’re the credentials of your child’s Microsoft account. These credentials have to be the same ones that were used to create that account.

6. Reset your password

Since Xbox error 8015D000 could occur when you key in the wrong log in details such as email or password, you can reset your Microsoft account password if you cannot remember it, before accessing Xbox Live.
