Windows 10: Correlation between Microsoft and Hotmail passwords. Tag Jen

This week I changed my Microsoft windows password . This password was always the same as my Hotmail email account.

My belief was hat by changing the Microsoft account , the Hotmail would be changed too. BUT it seems my account is not working and needs fixing.

Do I need to use the old email password or the new Microsoft password to fix the email !! PLEASE


Simple jargon would help. AND I don't think I'll be notified of answers as my email this ain't working . Ill try to look up

:)

I suggest that you change your password if you use any "Live" accounts.

 

Microsoft Launches Windows Live Hotmail Worldwide

Microsoft Corp. today announced that Windows Live Hotmail, the successor to MSN Hotmail, is launching globally in 36 languages. Windows Live Hotmail will deliver a safer, more powerful and productive e-mail experience than previous versions with flexible access via the Web, on a mobile phone or with an e-mail client. As Windows Live Hotmail begins rolling out on May 7 and continues over the coming days, consumers will be able to visit http://www.hotmail.com to sign up for a new Windows Live Hotmail account. Current MSN Hotmail customers can also update their existing account to Windows Live Hotmail by logging into their account and clicking on the green Join Windows Live Hotmail button. Later this month Windows Live Hotmail customers will also be able to access their Windows Live Hotmail e-mail and contacts for free using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Office Outlook 2007 via the new Microsoft Office Outlook Connector beta.
