    Once you’re logged into the correct Game Center/Apple ID, the game will prompt a message asking you to load the correct village. If you can’t retrieve your lost village with the address you’re using now, it's probably not the right one.
    • After you're prompted, allow the server to load your village.

  • Question
    How can I recover my account if someone linked my village?
    Daniel Tobi
    Community Answer
    You can still access your village and report the problem to customer care and you will both be logged out. You can then change your password and re-open your village leaving the other person out.

      • Supercell does not support emulators for their games; it is impossible to recover a lost Village if you are playing on a Blackberry, Nokia X-Series, Kindle HD, or any other platform not supported by the game.

      • If you do not have the information suggested to include when contacting the Clash of Clans team, your account will likely be disabled and impossible to recover. Do not contact them until you are confident you have as much information as you can remember about the account.
        Thanks
