Ive tried to change my password but it won't let me. I rang msn up but they just spoke loads of computer jargon to me.

Someone has changed my password for my email without me knowing?
well, actually my old email account was stolen to, and i tried to change the pass word like 8 times. but in the end i just made this one lol
Reply:You can get your email back if you set password recovery questions. You need to go to hotmail.com and click "forgot password" or something similar and answer the questions it asks you. This is the only way you can get your password back.
Reply:Passwords seem to be a hot topic among MSN Hotmail users. Apparently people lose them frequently, because I get a lot of questions relating to password loss and theft.





If you've simply forgotten your password, MSN Hotmail does provide at least one level of back-door that you can use to recover it - your alternate email address or secret question. If you don't have those, you're probably out of luck.





Here's the approach to take when you've lost your password....


If your sign in to Hotmail fails, notice that there's a link immediately below the password field:





[Hotmail Forgotten Password Link]





Click on that, and you'll be taken the "match the picture" question:





[Hotmail Match the Picture]





This dialog exists solely to prove that you are human ... current technology makes it extremely difficult for computers to examine that picture and understand the letters that are displayed within it. It's not always that easy for humans either! But the point is to prevent computer programs from being written which can try to guess passwords in some high-speed automated fashion ... you have to prove you're human first.





Assuming you are human, you're then given two options:





[Hotmail Password Reset Choices]





If you've configured Hotmail with an alternate email address, as I strongly recommend you do, you can have Hotmail email you at the alternate address a special message with a link that will then allow you to select a new Hotmail password.





Since most people having problems are using Hotmail as their only email address (another practice I strongly discourage), we'll go the other route and click on "Provide account information and answer your secret question." (If you don't know the answer to your secret question, see the related articles below.)





You'll then see this screen:





[Hotmail Secret Answer Page]





Enter the requested information exactly as you answered it when you set up the account. Assuming you get it correct, you'll then be taken to the Create a Password screen:





[Hotmail Create Password Page]





Once your password has been changed, if you do not have an alternate email address, Hotmail will prompt you to optionally create one:

And you're done!
