Hotmail Password Recovery Steps for Email Account

September 9, 2010 by Yogesh Patel

Due to Browser capabilities of remembering the password we always from our favorite desktop or laptop click allows our browser to remember password in order to make sure that we from next time easily login into our account without entering the user ID and password.

One such disadvantage I personally find is when you login through some other PC you will be on certain occasion will forget your password. No problem, Hotmail has the solution for those if you remember few details about your account. You can recover your password by following the steps mentioned below.

How to Recover Hotmail Password

1. Exactly where you login into Hotmail provide your hotmail or live ID and below the password field you will find ‘Forgot your password?’which will take you to further Hotmail password recovery steps.

You can’t actually recover an old password but you can change your password and gain access to your account. This is all because of security reasons since if some know your maiden name, your birthday, or your old password then if reset to your old password he still will have access to your account and may block your hacked account by changing the security questions which will make you harder to invoke back access to your account.
