Question asked on Jun 5, 2013
I've set up my main msn email through Windows Live. I have 3 linked accounts to it, all at hotmail.

When I tried putting them through Windows Live, I remembered only my main acct.'s password, so I had to recover my 2nd linked account's password.

My 3rd one, however, doesn't work that way. I don't have the password to that one either, and every time I have to fill out a form, the first time it told me I didn't have enough information (even though it all derives from my main account!), and today it says that there is a problem with the server.

See, through Outlook I can just easily go from one linked account to another, without having to put the password in. So, of course, after a while I forget 2 of them.

Why can't I just have my main account link to the others through Windows Live? It seems very difficult to recover a linked acct's password as it automatically asks me question that I can't answer as all of them belong to my main account. I had set them up years ago.

Sorry if this is confusing, but I worked all afternoon on getting my outlook linked account to Windows Live to add to the others.
