You may be prompted to enter the answers to security questions you set up previously, or to give account information to authenticate your identity. Choose the situation that corresponds to you on the first screen of the recovery page, which in this case is **'I forgot my password.' Then press the Next button.** Enter the address of the Hotmail account you're seeking to restore on the second screen, and then follow the directions for typing the characters shown on the screen; these are there to prevent software bots from hacking the web. Then press the Next button. https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&client=ca-pub-4392740333731945&output=html&h=280&adk=680053372&adf=1242262565&pi=t.aa~a.3239269171~i.3~rp.4&w=673&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1654445075&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=1094794600&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=673x280&url=http%3A%2F%2Fanswers.mindstick.com%2Fqa%2F97780%2Fhow-do-i-get-into-my-hotmail-account-have-forgotten-my-pass-word&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=168&rw=672&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChAI8KjxlAYQv8Lj9-P23d1_EjkAarJvQGm7SqZ-kDQ_OQeCDC26rvJXm7R8ISCqnz4suJ4lZQL4u0fZ4xiTB24PYHI6PbmCURxdIUs&dt=1654445074051&bpp=16&bdt=2904&idt=17&shv=r20220601&mjsv=m202206010101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D662a2a89d90b1e4b%3AT%3D1638203387%3AS%3DALNI_Ma0edec-PTDcYBpYfjXLxzSkFxWjw&gpic=UID%3D0000049bbcd8c2fb%3AT%3D1649361027%3ART%3D1654444265%3AS%3DALNI_MYxpVq19FV9XGwj1XHiGD59KpTonA&prev_fmts=0x0&nras=2&correlator=8671729856109&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1844689516.1638201988&ga_sid=1654445073&ga_hid=794372211&ga_fc=1&u_tz=330&u_his=1&u_h=864&u_w=1536&u_ah=824&u_aw=1536&u_cd=24&u_sd=1.25&adx=337&ady=824&biw=1519&bih=754&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=44759875%2C44759926%2C44759842%2C31067769%2C31067864%2C42531605%2C31067487&oid=2&pvsid=3820579631032009&pem=297&tmod=1581903883&uas=0&nvt=1&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1536%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1536%2C754&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=23&jar=2022-06-05-15&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=3eRgfdpJDa&p=http%3A//answers.mindstick.com&dtd=1220 The next screen gives you many options for proving your identity and regaining control of your Hotmail account.
