Select a verification method. In order to get access to the password reset page, you'll need to verify your identity with Microsoft. There are several methods for doing so, depending on the contact preferences you have set for your account.

Fill out the questionnaire (if necessary). If you had to select the "I don't have any of these" option, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire to prove that you are the owner of the account. This is to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your private emails. You will need to provide an alternate contact email address before you start, but if you don't have one you can create one for free. You will be asked questions such as previously-used passwords, account creation dates, and other questions about your account usage. Try to answer these as accurately as possible. These surveys are reviewed by support staff and matched against records to check for accuracy. Receiving a response may take a few days.

Get your verification code. Once you've selected your verification method, retrieve your code to access the password reset page. If you selected email as the verification method, make sure to check all possible locations for the verification email, including Spam. If you are using Gmail or Google Inbox, check the "Updates" section.

Enter your verification code. If you still have the page open, you can enter the code in the box. If you've closed the verification page, you can open it again by starting the account retrieval process over again and choosing the same contact method.

• Create a new password. After entering your verification code, you'll be taken to the account reset page. Here you can create a new password that you'll use to access your Hotmail account.

Log into your account. Once your password has been reset, it will immediately become your account password. Use it to access your Hotmail account from the Outlook.com sign in page.
