I have a Microsoft MSDN license, but I haven't logged in for several months, and I've forgotten my password. The password reset wizard will send reset instructions to my Windows Live ID account, but that's the
account for which I've forgotten my password.

It will also reset my password if I answer my secret question correctly and give the the correct country and state I entered when I set up the account. But I don't remember what I entered.

So I'm stuck. Is there a way to get my password for my MSDN account?

Thanks.

Oh boy. Have you ever let your browser remember passwords? Or used MSN Messenger? There are free password recovery tools (http://www.nirsoft.net/password_recovery_tools.html) that can root things out. If you have relied on your own memory alone, you're probably out of luck unless the Windows Live ID Validation form (https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?productKey=wlidvalidation&ct=eformcs) is good for a miracle.

*Sigh*. Little black books have their uses.
