I created a hotmail account yesterday and it generated a password that I was never going to remember. Problem is that when I logged out (I was running a cleanup program) it logged me out and upon logging back in I discovered that the password wasn't saved on my computer. I went through the usual password recovery/forgot password stuff but it simply will not accept my recovery form no matter what I do. Any email account I've tried to link gets sent a code which I enter but the form gets rejected by Microsoft each time I send it. Any idea on how else to recover my account? I can't even find a support chat to talk to. Thanks.
