    • If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:
      • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
      • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

    Hacker Keeps resetting my Live email password.

    I think he is trying hard to get to my Steam account again. Like I added in my first post I had a password reset for steam email.

    And last time he did it I had several password reset emails in my live before (I suppose) he got it to work.

    Now I don't even feel like my gmail is safe. I have it set up for Phone SMS and 2 step verification. Although I think he is having a hard time with my gmail.

    HOW IS HE DOING IT!
