    Need to access deceased husband's profile


    Hi,


    My husband passed away a couple of years ago but the laptop he used to use is starting to break down and I need to get into his profile to back up all his documents. He was a writer and wrote lots of stories, not published, which I want to try and publish or save for our children to read in the future. I cant remember his password and I dont have access to his email accounts. Can anyone tell me how I can log into his profile?


    Many Thanks

    :)

    Accessing a Deceased Person's Hotmail Account

    Check out Time's piece about online accounts of the deceased. There's a section from Microsoft. The article is a little old, but it's all I could find right now.
