Change the password for the Hotmail account
As of Windows 8 , the Hotmail address can also be used as a Microsoft account for access to Windows. If you still can log in and change the password on Hotmail for security reasons only, follow these steps:
- Opens the login page for the account .
- Log in.
- In the top right-hand corner, next to the account name, click "Account Settings" to access the options for account management.
- Here you can find the section "Password" on the left.
- Click on " Change password" .
- Enter the old and a new password in the corresponding field. The new password must be entered twice for security reasons .
- Saves the entries to successfully change the password in Hotmail.
The changed password applies to both Hotmail and other Microsoft services such as Windows 8, SkyDrive or Skype . Optionally, you can set that the password can only be changed every 72 hours. Set the hook at the appropriate place.
Forgot your Hotmail password: you can do that
It is a bit more complicated if you can not log in to the account anymore because you have forgotten the Hotmail password. Again, access can be restored quickly. This works like this:

- In the new window you choose the option " I forgot my password ".
- Now you can choose how you want to prove that you are the account holder, for example by mail to another, stored address or to answer a security question.
- You will receive a link to reset the Hotmail password.
