Other fixes

The previous methods are for people who have somehow saved their progress with their email ID. However, what should you do if you have lost the email associated with your old account or haven’t used an email at all?

If you have multiple email addresses, search for any messages in your mailboxes mentioning the Supercell ID. That way, you can revive the email associated with your old account. However, if you have lost your account and don’t have any access to the previous email address, here is what you can do:

1. Launch the game and go to Game Settings.
2. Click on the Help and Support tab.
3. Select “Account”.
4. Then select “Recover Your Account."
5. Select “I Lost My Account."
6. Now scroll down and click on “Contact Us."

Once you are redirected to the Supercell mailbox, you can explain your problem there. Ensure you have an email address that has never been associated with a Clash of Clans account.

You should share the level of your Town Hall when you last played the game, log in and Nickname details of your ID, your clan’s name, the approximate date of your last game, how you lost it, the magic items you last used, and more as proof.

Supercell usually takes two to four weeks to get back to you. In the meantime, if you are playing in your new village, do not upgrade the town hall past level four, as that may create problems in the recovery procedure. You should avoid deleting the previously saved data to ensure a smooth escalation of the process.
