When it comes to Microsoft accounts it's you and Microsoft. Frankly your post isn't the only reason I don't use my Microsoft account. Just last week without any action from me I had to "recover" my Live account. The lesson is simple. Don't tie yourself to Microsoft email or other accounts. It's not reliable enough.
I am trying to access my Microsoft acct. but it won't recognize me. It says wrong password. Tried to enter new password thru "forgot my password".. Entered new one but now site requires me to enter
OLD pass. one last time.........How can I do that if I forgot it and tried entering a new one. Is there any way to get anyone from Microsoft, all I find are preset computer answers that are useless
