I made one a long time ago, but don't even remember what my username was. I didn't really use it so I can't be bothered to figure it out. The major email providers I've used include AOL, Road Runner, yahoo, and gmail.

my wife's account has a lost password... when you go to reset it, it only allows it to be sent to her own hotmail account and also states:

You may be able to receive password reset instructions at the e-mail address you use for your Windows Live account, even if you forgot your password.

But, still, there is no way to get in as you still need the password... !!!!! WTF.

The other option is to use her location info and secret question's answer... tried that and it states there've been too many tries (seems it has been locked for a while now) so we have to use the reset method. Umm... WTF. WE CAN'T.

2004 - I use my hotmail a lot. I prefer it to Gmail. In fact it's probably my main email account since I change ISPs often.
