1. At the bottom of the MSN Hotmail Mail
sign-in page, click "Forgot your password?"
2. To go to the Hotmail Mail sign-in page,
type www.hotmail.com in the address bar of your browser.
3. Follow the instructions on the Reset Your Password page.

In addition to the other reply - note that posting your valid e-mail address
in a newsgroup post, or in your news account settings, is a surefire way to
get spam and SWEN and other viruses sent to you....see
http://www.mailmsg.com/SPAM_munging.htm for help in the future, but note
that now that your address is out there, it's out there.
