How to Change Your Passwords on MSN 2010

To change my MSN password (and yours):
1.Go to http://account.live.com

2.Click "Sign In" button

3.On the next page click on the "change" link within the "Password reset information" area

4.You need to know your current (old) MSN password in order to be able to change it. The next screen will ask you to provide your MSN id (Windows Live ID or Hotmail login) and your current MSN password.

5.If you don't remember your current password you can check whether it can be recovered: Start your Windows Live Messenger and click on the "Sign In" button. Being able to sign in to your messanger without having to enter your password means that your MSN password is stored locally and can be easily recovered.

6.If you want to recover your current MSN password, download Password Recovery for MSN, install it, run it and click "Recover Password" button. This will show all MSN passwords that are currently saved on your system.

7.Use your current MSN password when entering it at Step 4 described above

8.Click on the Save button and this should change MSN password

9.As a confirmation of the password change you will see a message saying "Your information has been saved" (this will also change MSN Messenger password too)
