Hello,

I did a data transfer from an old computer running WLM 2012 to a new computer running WLM 2012.  I used 'transwiz' to do this.  Essentially it packs up the user profile into a zip and extracts it on the new PC.

On the new PC I had forgotten my password to my WL account, and the recovery option cannot help me.  It is a 3rd party email account, so it would not know what emails were sent and received from the account, or what contacts I frequently email.   And since I don't remember any of the old passwords, or have an Xbox live account/Billing info the information is considered insufficient to restore.

What I do have is a 12MB WLCalendarstore.edb file which is about 10MB larger than the current one the program is loading.  Is there any way to import this file into WLM?  I've tried dropping the file into the appdata/microsoft/Windows Live Mail/calendars/%emailaddress%/DBStore and it just seems to overwrite it with the latest one on the MS server.

Is there a way I can recover the account via faxing my ID?
