Windows live id password reset..no location / secret option ?

[wimmer]

I was having a Vista desktop with all my important data, passwords, etc. Last week its motherboard died and hence PC stopped working. I bought completely new desktop, installed Vista and done all other settings. I called a technician who copied all data from my old HDD to this new one. But the problem is am not able to get my Windows live password as it was stored in my user profile on old system.

When I try to retrieve the Live password doesn't offer me the location/ secret question which I’d most likely be able to remember. Am just unable to get my emails. Can you guys please help me getting my Windows Live password? Is there any way? Please help.

The only thing you can do now is to contact Windows Live support. Yeah they have a community for the same. You will need to ask them for help. Offcourse they will ask you for details and you have to give them a lot of information before they let you know your password.
