    Mg acct back once i get hotmail back. so pls allow this to stay till then. so my problem is i change passwords on 3 emails including the one i registered silas to long ago cus gf got in them. so i thought the passwords were sumthing and it not work. so i

    Re: retreving hotmail pass program

    The sites often make it non-trivial to change a password via the "forgotten password" route. If they didn't. then anyone could change yours easily.

    That is why they asked for the name and birthday you have in the profile. If you have forgotten those, you are probably out of luck.

    If Hotmail has a contact phone number, you MIGHT be able to convince them if you can tell them what the password was before you changed it. I will make no guarantees that they will cooperate.

    Change passwords on the emails. so only changed the pass once. so hoping that was enough to keep password and show it. then friend moved so getting things to do there once i go there. so ill hope for more things to try and suggested 4 me. email important

    Re: retreving hotmail pass program

    The problem is, how are they to know that you didn't change the password because someone else obtained it somehow and was using your account without your permission?

    Without the correct secret answer etc, you have basically the equivalent of a hard disc crash on your computer with no backup. You complicated matters by using a fake name and birth date - as well as apparently not using an easily remembered answer to your secret question.

    Unless you can find some way to retrieve the new password on your friend's computer, the likely result is that you will never be able to access that account again and all the email messages are lost.

    Unless the OP actively chose to save the password on the friend's computer, this will not help.

    is windows live and hotmail the same thing nowadays ?
    and is this attached xbox live ?

    call me skeptical but theres a lot of hacked accounts on xbox i bet there's quite a few people who would like to know how to retrieve a password

    on the other hand you can run this on your friends computer it might work for you

    I've merged your posts, silas.

    You can't pm me with this account. I'm going to pm you an email address you can contact me with and I'd like for you to verify the email address on your original silas account. I'll help you get your original account back.

    I can't help you with the hotmail problem. All the password finders that I know of are for retrieving Windows keys or specific software on your computer. For future reference, I'd suggest picking security questions that people wouldn't know the answer and give the truth so this doesn't happen.

    Hi

    If the NirSoft app didnt work then as you used fake birthday and other info, and cannot remember them then you are not going to be able to recover the account, without this info even phoning the Microsoft Hotmail team wouldnt work as first question will be things like "what birthday" and "secret question".

    Sadly you may need to just create a new account and this time use real info and memorable security questions and password.

    This link says to try to keep the same request open rather than open a new request, and give multiple answers to questions that might have multiple answers. http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=bf5d34bf-db28-44ca-ac9a-93838d81b2d6

    It seems they want you to convince them that you are who you say you are. So give as much detail of when you joined and which folders have the most mail etc.

    ***
    I really don't know what else to tell you. I had a similar problem with yahoo mail not long ago. My secondary account that I rarely sign in to, blocked me. I knew I had the correct password but no go. Eventually, they locked my account because I was trying too many passwords. I finally gave up but it was maddening because I had some information I needed. Tried again two weeks later and my password worked. Just dumb luck on my part but I feel your pain. :(

    Well mention my info since not right. i use silas brooke or adam neel or justin ... for my main email then bday is either my real or jan 1 or jan 27. and i got the 5 pass easy. and folder thing good. just not good is what i sent and subject names. also

    Also when i did my password recovery form my my profile. it send me auto email saying my number to the problem was .... and they get bk to me. then if fast it be 24 hour or longer. and ea time it says we sorry we couldnt do to not enuff info try again.

    Info on ways to improve it. also i ran into trouble yesterday. i filled there form out like 9 or more times. then later it sent me only one case number and not 9. then they sent a 2cd saying in order for them to get my email bk faster that they were

    Were going to close all but the most recent meaning last form. so i thought wth. but ima try that link sach2 w coffee. and to my question w timw question still up. i wish legit software that give pass for money.

    So i filed out info in sach2 post and sent it. it gave me pin i wrote down. then got email saying it take 24 hour to review it. in the mean time i cud view private forum and view and give help. yet i go to link and not work on old cell. so question is.

    I thought it said i could go view forum while there reviewing it. so iam i wrong and forum link not active until they deny my request. or maybe hotmail takes while to let link get active. or my cell internet bad. and i should go to real pc and try link.
