Being the bright spark I am I forgot to note down the password for one of my emails and didn't update the recovery email address. And since Microsoft recently disabled the account linking for security reason I can't hop in that way to gain access. I'm posting this here as I couldn't find a way to directly contact Microsoft about this issue and was hoping for help either in that manner or somehow resetting my password without the use of the questionnaire because every time I've tried to use it is mentions how I haven't provided enough information. I didn't use this email to send emails out, only to receive them from specific online accounts I created. And I didn't customise folders. So the only thing I can do is guess at the address and name because honestly I can't remember half the "details" of the account. All I know is one application I have, Trillian, is connected to the account and shows the number of emails I have, but I can't use that to hop into my account either.

Some swift help of any kind with this would be appreciated.
