Lost hotmail password

For the life of me I can't remember my password for my hotmail account.
I have all my stored passwords for varuis things and accounts sent to that email.

Does anyone know how I can figure out how to get it back?
Brute force hacking?

Well, from what I can see, it is that easy:

Reset your password
You can't recover a forgotten password. To use your Windows Live Hotmail account after forgetting your Windows Live ID (The user name and password that you use to sign in to any Windows Live, MSN, or Office Live sites and services. If you have a Passport Network, Hotmail, or Messenger account, you can use it as your Windows Live ID.) password, you must reset the password.

1. On the Windows Live Hotmail website, click Forgot your password?
2. Type your e-mail address and the characters from the picture, and then click Continue.
3. Select one of the following methods:
Request password reset instructions in an e-mail message
1. Click Send password reset instructions to me in e-mail.
2. Click Continue.
3. Click OK.
4. Open your alternate e-mail account, and then follow the instructions in the e-mail message from Windows Live ID.
Answer your question to verify your identity

recover hotmail password

Oh my gosh....I did this....changed my password to a difficult one and then forgot it...and the more I tried to remember...oh well. It works! I had the live acct and just used the reset choice. I was afraid to use this as I thought the reset would give me a new password in my old acct but it works! Yeah and thanks cause I had this acct for 10 years...it was like family!
