How can I access my Hotmail account on my laptop?

I need to access a hotmail account from my stepson that has gone missing. Any advice on how to expedite access?

• The police have contacted hotmail but they are dragging their feet on unlocking his account. We can't reset his password because we don't get all the questions right. We have access to one of his hotmail accounts. Is there any way to merge accounts or anything that might help us find clues on his disappearance before it's to late. Thanks for any tips!

• Answer:

  It may not be morally correct to use this, but seeing your situation i suppose it might be useful. my assumptions: Your son uses his own laptop etc running windows he probably uses the same password for everything. Use cain to dump and crack his passwords from the laptop. aside that, i'd much rather not give more info due to police involvement. best wishes. -Valor
