    Okay so let me explain the situation, basically I cannot login to Minecraft via the launcher nor website nor mobile chat client, It says that my username/password is incorrect, this I highly doubt as my password is over 12 characters long which nobody knows.
    I've tried recovering my password with a link sent to my email, but I do not know the password to that email account, any suggestions?

    Try deleting your current current minecraft folder and re-download a new one and then restart your computer? I've tried this before and has worked but I was still able to login to the website.

    Try to recover the password for the email address. Also I think there are ways you can add more emails to your MC account, but I'm not sure.

    No idea at all, I doubt though my account is hacked since my password is almost impossible to guess, let's keep our fingers crossed

    I'm going to appeal to Andrew and see if he will allow one of my alt accounts on :/. I've tried everything.

    Yea I have done this.;
    At the moment I have rung the bank and asked them to send a history of my payments and bank statements in a bid to get the transaction ID. Then I am recovering my backup account that is linked to my email address which is connected to the account, I have my doubts about recovering it but this is the furthest I have gotten.
