Windows Live help instructions

• Switch on the device and log on to your system admin account.
• Wait for windows to log-in to your admin account. Now, launch the browser either using the home screen shortcuts or using the plug-in on the quick access launch bar. The above technique only works, only if a shortcut label exists. If no such shortcuts exist, click on the Start orb placed on the bottom left corner of the home screen. Now, place the mouse pointer on the search space. Enter the name of the browser into the search space and hit the Enter key.  
• Open the browser and enter the Windows live web address into the search space. Hit the Enter key or the green arrow key next to the address bar to initiate the search. Wait for the Windows Live page to load. From the Windows live page, navigate to the Windows Live Password Reset page by clicking the windows live link.
• Click on the link labeled I think someone is using my Windows Live ID in the Windows live password reset page. When prompted, type in your Live ID or Hotmail email address. Enter the letters in the security image.
• From the list of the preferred reset options, select your reset option. This will differ depending on what details you have included in the account when you first signed up.
• Follow the instructions for your identity verification. You may receive a code on your mobile phone. This will again depend on the reset option that you had chosen while setting up your Windows Live account.
• Log-in to your account with the provided reset password. You can change your password again if needed.
