How to Recover a Hotmail Password Not Used Before on Your PC

• Answer:

  Microsoft's Hotmail is a free email service open to all computer users. Like all email accounts, a Hotmail account can only be accessed if the user knows the password for the account. If you have logged into your Hotmail account on a computer, chances are your computer has a record of the account's password stored somewhere in case you need to recover the password. If you have forgotten your password and need to log into your Hotmail account on a computer that you have never used before, however, you can still recover your Hotmail password by resetting the password. Difficulty: Easy Instructions Navigate your Web browser to the "Windows Live ID: Password Recovery" page (accountservices.passport.net/uiresetpw.srf?mkt=EN-US&lc=1033). Type your Hotmail email address in the space labeled "Email" and type the characters from the Captcha image in the space provided. Click the "Continue" button. Click the "Send yourself a password reset email message" option if you provided a secondary email account when creating your Hotmail account. Log into your secondary email account, open the message sent to you by Windows Live ID Credential Management and click the link in the email message. Then jump to Step 7. Click the "Provide account information and answer your secret question" option if you did not provide a secondary email address. Click to select your country from the "Country/Region" drop-down box, select your state from the "State" drop-down box and type your ZIP code in the space labeled "Zip Code." Type the answer to your secret question in the space labeled "Secret Answer." Click the "Continue" button. Enter a new password for the account in the space labeled "New Password." Type the new password a second time in the space labeled "Retype New Password." Click the "Continue" button to reset your password. You may now use your new password to log into your Hotmail account.
