Forgot your Microsoft Account password? Don't panic! It happens to the best of us. Luckily, Microsoft makes it relatively easy to regain access. This quick guide walks you through the process.
First, head to the Microsoft account recovery page (search 'Microsoft account recovery' on any search engine). You'll likely be prompted to enter the email address, phone number, or Skype name associated with your account.
Next, follow the on-screen instructions to verify your identity. This might involve receiving a code via email or SMS, answering security questions, or completing a Captcha.
Once your identity is confirmed, you'll be able to create a new, strong password. Choose a password that's at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessable information like your birthday or pet's name.
Finally, after changing your password, Microsoft might prompt you to review your account activity and security settings to ensure everything is in order. Keeping your password updated and strong is key to protecting your Microsoft account!
