How to Administer Gamertags on Xbox

The Xbox 360 video game console allows players to create a unique profile called a gamertag. The gamertag allows a player to keep track of what games he has played and how many achievements he has acquired for each game, as well as identify himself to other gamers when playing online. There are several ways to manage a gamertag. A player is allowed to recover a gamertag, delete it or even move it to play on a different console.
