Account hacked and banned

I got hacked and I barely managed to log in thanks to linking it to my Xbox account, but I can't change the email or play the games I used to because I got banned thanks to the hacker. I’d like to know if you could remove the ban and the two-step verification, since the hacker activated it with that email and now I can't change anything. Any solution?
