HOTMAIL password reset...?

Been trying to get into my old hotmail/MSN account and cant for the life of me remember the password.

Are there any programmes available that will help me out as I've tried the security Q's and cant remember the answers to them either lol!

Ta!

    Of course there aren't programs that will help you! Imagine how many millions of accounts would be hacked if there was.

    Ordinary free Hotmail accounts expire if not used for 60 days. If you have left it unused for longer than that there will be no password left to recover.

    I've got some accounts set to forward to my regular e-mail & you only have to log in about once every 9 months.

    Important note: Please sign in at least once every 270 days so that your account doesn't get deleted. (In order to help fight junk, we delete inactive accounts.)
