Microsoft's Hotmail is a free email service open to all computer users. Like all email accounts, a Hotmail account can only be accessed if the user knows the password for the account. If you have logged into your Hotmail account on a computer, chances are your computer has a record of the account's password stored somewhere in case you need to recover the password. If you have forgotten your password and need to log into your Hotmail account on a computer that you have never used before, however, you can still recover your Hotmail password by resetting the password.
Windows Live Hotmail incorporates many security features to keep your account as secure as possible, but no system is perfect. If someone has acquired your Hotmail password, you need to regain control of your account as soon as possible. If you have properly configured your Hotmail password recovery options, you can request a new password. Unfortunately, this won't work if the person using your account has already changed the password recovery settings.
Hotmail is one of the oldest free Web-based email services. Unfortunately, its age and its popularity can make it a target for hackers and other online troublemakers. If your Hotmail account is hijacked, the hacker may change your password to keep you from logging back in to the account. Fortunately, Microsoft gives users the opportunity to prove that a hijacked account is really theirs so that changed passwords and stolen accounts can be recovered by their rightful owners.
