Hotmail forgot password

ScarySquirrel · 19 Jan 2009 at 09:51

I have forgotten my Hotmail password. When I click on 'forgot password?' the only thing I can do is 'continue' which then sends a password reset email.....TO MY HOTMAIL ACCOUNT!

WTF is the point in that? I cannot find any way of changing the email it is sent to. How can I get my password changed?

EDIT: Never mind, I had caps lock on! LOL

This happened to my GF a while ago, there was a form she filled in with like her IP address etc and they changed her password. Can't find the link though oO keep looking. Look for "hacked" info too I think. Can't remember 100% though.

You have 2 choices,

Secret question
or
Send reset password

the latter is only useful if you bothered to fill out your alternative email address, which if it only shows your hotmail one, I assume you didn't

The same thing happened to me last week. I only ever used my account to log onto MSN and had, remember password and auto sign in ticked, so never typed the password. One day it randomly said my password was wrong so i emailed them a huge list of details, including things i could get wrong like my IP and the last people i had spoken to on MSN and they said i was wrong so i had to make a new account...
