  1. Visit the Microsoft password recovery page - https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx
  2. Enter the email address you used to create your Microsoft account and click Next.
  3. Select which option to send the verification code to a backup email address or phone number and click Next.
  4. Depending on the contact method you chose, retype the first part of the email address or the last four digits of the phone number hinted at in the previous window.
  5. Select "Get code".
  6. Paste or type the code you received and select Next. On the next page, you will be offered to create a new password. Type your new password and select Next.
