    Microsoft have locked me out...

    I got a windows phone 7 device and I can't remember the password to my windows live account (no idea what has happened there). I'm logged in to the Hotmail on the phone and on the zune software so I can get updates/apps etc but I can't set up anything on my computer. I try to reset a password and apparently me being me isn't good enough. I have to provide email headers I have sent no emails, i haven't used the account. I have to provide previous passwords This is the first time I've used this account, there are no previous passwords...

    Any idea what I can do to recover my password?

    I just scrapped the account and started a new one. I only had a dozen or so apps installed so it wasn't too hard in the end.
