Mike: This might not help but I am attempting to help. Here's what I found off of google. 1. Sign in to your Windows Live Hotmail Account from Hotmail. 2. Click on your name at the right-top of the home page of your Windows Live Page. You'll see a list popup. Select Account. 3. You may be asked to sign in again. Enter your current password and click Sign in. 4. In your Account Summary, just below the Password reset information heading, click on Change next to the starred password. 5. A screen will appear where you will be asked to provide your old password. You will then be required to type in a new password and then retype it again for confirmation. Note: Make sure you enter a strong password. Passwords are case sensitive (so EXAMPLE, Example, and example are not the same). 6. Click the Save button to save your new password. You will then be taken to the login page where you can now login with your new password. list end
Recover a Forgotten Hotmail Password Someday, you may need to change/recover your Hotmail password because you have forgotten it. In order to recover your Hotmail password, follow the below steps: list of 4 items 1. Go to Hotmail. Click on the Forgot your password? link just below the password text field on the sign-in from. 2. You will be taken to a page where you need to enter an alternate email address and key-in the characters in the picture. The latter is to prove that you are a human being and not a computer program. Click on Continue. 3. The password changing procedure's details will be sent to your alternate email address. Open the alternate mail box and click on the link under Confirm Request And Reset Password. 4. Clicking the link will take you to a page which asks to enter the Hotmail ID, new password and retype the new password for confirmation. Click on Continue. You will be redirected to the login page for signing in. list end Make sure you choose your password carefully and keep it safe. If possible, do not write it down because it is easier for people to get access to it. Let it be your secret. To help protect your personal information, change your password regularly. And also, please remember that this changes your password for your Windows Live account, and will also affect all Windows Live services on which you use that account. This procedure is done via Hotmail, but if you use this account for Windows Live (MSN) Messenger or any of the other Windows Live services, this password change will apply to all of them. Hope this helps. www.BlindAccessTraining.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike & Barbara In Arcadia Sent: 30 July, 2011 6:16 AM To: Blind Computing Subject: [Blind-Computing] Changing HotMail Password Hi All, A friend of ours has had her address book taken over by spyware & it's sending out random emails that only have URL's to porn or prescription drug sites.
