A Microsoft account helps you get all the services offered by a Microsoft company, and it's very easy to get into trouble with your account. If you lose your account's login credentials, you can easily get them back using account.live.com/acsr.

The process to Microsoft Password Reset

  • First, go to Microsoft's official website and click Forget Password (or go directly to https://account.live.com/password/reset)
  • Now Microsoft will check before you start the password reset process. Here, select the Email Account Options or Phone Number Options associated with your account.
  • Enter the last 4 digits of your email address or phone number and click Get Code.
  • If you select a verification option, you will receive a verification code depending on the verification method you choose. Enter the verification code and click Next.
  • Now, after submitting the code, you will have access to enter your new password.
  • If you enter a new password, your Microsoft account password will be reset successfully here.
  • If for some reason you can't reset your Microsoft account password, you can fill out the recovery form for the same account. The account recovery form is available at http://account.live.com/acsr.
