How do I change my MSN Messenger or Hotmail password?
Messenger and Hotmail use the .NET Passport service for authentication, so this means you’ll need to change your password there. Rather than trying to remember the steps or the pages to go to, I do this:
Become a Patron of Ask Leo! and go ad-free!
-
Fire up MSN Messenger
-
File, Sign Out, if signed in
-
File, Sign In… (not the entry
that may already have your account name listed). -
At the bottom of the resulting dialog box, click on Help
-
And on the resulting web page, click on Change My Password.
You’ll then be prompted to log in to .NET Passport (using your old password)
and then given the opportunity to change your password.
Remember that this applies to all services which use .NET Passport to login in, including Hotmail, MSN Messenger and more.
jow do i changer my msn serect Question
To the best of my knowledge, you can’t.
There should be a help *link*, not a button, near the bottom of the dialog box.
One: NEVER EVER post your password in a public forum. Anyone can read these posts, and anyone could steal your account, either before or after the change. I’ve ****’d your passwords in your post.
Two: I can’t change your password. This is something only you can do, using the instructions outlined in this article. If you’re having problems, then post specific symptoms and we may be able to help.
But NEVER EVER post your password.

You need this article: http://ask-leo.com/someone_has_stolen_my_email_account_what_can_i_do_to_get_it_back.html
I’m closing comments on this article. Most of the comments have simply been requests for me to change your password (which I cannot do), or questions that, ultimately, are answered by the article itself.
