Forgotten password

Hello, i was always logged onto my laptop and so didn't have to type my hotmail password in. Unfortunetly my laptop has broken and i've had to buy a new one. I've forgotten my password and need to get back into my account as everything is linked to it. I've submitted forms and they haven't worked and so when speaking to a employee yesterday online it was recomened i create a new one for now and that you would contact me on how to get back to my old one. I haven't had an email, please can you help me as i need it asap? Thanks Yasmin
