Can’t Access My Hotmail Account.

Recently, I tried to access my Hotmail account from my iPhone and I kept getting asked for my password.  And, every time that I entered my password, I got rejected.  Now entering a password from an iPhone is a challenge, so, I just assumed that I was not hitting the correct keys. But, when I tried to login from my PC, I got the same thing.

Finally, on a whim, I entered my new PC password and it worked!!  Apparently, Microsoft only has one password for all of their services whether it is Hotmail or Windows 8.1.

Window 8.1 Password Reset Part 2.

In an attempt to reset my password on my new Windows 8.1 PC, Microsoft asked for my email address and password.  And so, I put them in expecting that I would get an email from Microsoft with my new password.  But, they kept getting rejected.  Finally, I opted for a phone call.  Moments later, the phone rang and an automated voice announced my new password.  And, it worked.  GREAT!!!

Window 8.1 Password Reset.

While I really didn’t want a password on my new Windows 8.1 PC, the safety of the free world depended on it, I guess.  So, I put one in.  And as predicted, I forgot my password.

But, to help me along, they gave me a web site to reset my password.  Unfortunately, the web site that they gave me took me to a company that sold truck bed liners and not Microsoft.  Not to be beaten, I went to the Microsoft web site and requested a password reset.
