Lost MSN password! Cant access DreamSpark etc :(

[robjf]

Sorry for the very boring thread guys but i am having a very annoying problem, my main hdd died the other day and for the life of me i cannot remember my MSN/hotmail password.

Ive tried my secret question but it was made years ago so cannot remember the answer (my fault entirely!).

This is causing me quite a few issues as i use my passport account for Microsoft Dreamspark and as i decided to try Server 2008, i need to get the Key from there!

Now there are several computers in the house which have the password stored by the Windows Live software, is there anyway to retrieve the password from this at all?

Id be hugely greatful for any suggestions you may have. I filled in a massive form the other day on a passport security site but have yet to hear anything back.

Thanks again,

Rob (FOOL!)

There's an e-mail address you can reach them on and they then proceed to ask you a huge amount of questions - probably the same as that form.

Never done it, but I know people who have...

I've done it, someone emailed me back pretty quickly and was really helpful.

Microsoft are actually the most helpful company I've dealt with! Try contacting Blizzard or Valve and you will be lucky to see a copied and pasted response.

Do you guys know that email address? I know previous passwords, its just i had a bit of a scare a while back so changed it to something no1 would ever know, including myself!
