Windows Live

[Captain Blackadder]

I recently changed my password to my old hotmail account from around 9 years ago. I went to go into it once more and now I realised that I don't remember which random letter of the new password that I capitalised.Since I gave the sceret answer 9 years ago I don't remember how I typed that out so now I am dealing with windows live recovery. Has anyone here had to deal with them in the past? Normally I would cut my loses and just get a new email address but my windows live account is linked to that one and it appears that when I changed my hotmail password I also changed my windows live. Just want to know if anyone has any advice on what will please the microsoft overlord to prove that I am me. I swear based on what is happening thus far my bank was easier in giving my internet banking back.

The only time I had to deal with Windows Live is when I won something and they reneged on awarding me anything. So yes, I would run away as fast as you can. Try Gmail. Hotmail and everything else is just needlessly involved and difficult.

yep, you can't go wrong with Gmail

yeah I know and that is what I intend to do it's just that I would like it back since it also functions as my gfwl account and I do want to be able to play the games that I paid for once more.
