Forgotten Hotmail Password

[phil-k]

I have tried to log into my hotmail account on my pc but have forgotten my password, on my laptop it is logged into the account ok.
I have tried resetting the password but I am having problems there as well, the answer to the security question doesnt work and I do not have a link to another email address and obviously I cannot change the password on my laptop because it still asks for the current password
Is there a way of finding out my password on my laptop which is already logged in
Thanks

After a while not trying to remember my password it just came back to me, lol
The last part of your suggestions would have been my option otherwise, I will keep it in mind if I have a senior moment again
Thanks for the reply
