    I'm guessing that instead of using your mother's real Maiden name, you've made one up and forgotten it?

    If I'm wrong, you could just find out what her Maiden name is and get it back that way?

    I seem to remember that when I had this issue it took hotmail a day to get back to me, but then it was sorted really quickly. Good luck.

    Install lastpass and it should import all the information and SHOULD allow you to see the password

    The password was never saved on the pc and a few different accounts are used on it, is it still possibly to get it back?

    Which browser you using? Chrome and Firefox both save the passwords in the browser and will show you them if you require. Unsure what IE or Safari or any other browser does.

    When ever you do your secret password never do anything that relates to the question. For example "what is your favourite colour", well my answer tends to be for a completely different question be it maiden name or first school etc.

    Get roboform and it can remember the details of the account in a cloud for you, it also logs account that you have saved very fast.
