arg windows live

ok, so I dont know where to put this because well, its not computer related as much as it is memory related. So I have a hotmail account, and because my computer always remembered my password, I never had to. Until one day I had to re-install windows, thus I cant remember my password. I tried the "forgot password" thing, but because I made this account four or five years ago, I dont remember what I put as my "first car" haha. Now is there anything I can do? I miss talking to my friends on it, and well yeah. Is there some big msn guy I call email/call? I can recall all the old passwords like no one, its just that for some reason I cant remember this one...
