How to recover my hotmail password without answering security question?
Trying to retive my password using the email sent to me by microsoft, said in the mail that I have 4 options to recover the password. I followed the steps and it brings me only to two options. 1. to get it from an email which is inconvinient, because I need to create an and it does not allow me to change the alternate email "set" before the question. 2. is to choose the customer support that never worked and brings me to try again later because the site is not ready. im looking forward to option 3 which is to retrieve via the mobile phone number, but this option is not displayed during the process. any help please?
Basically - if you do not configure the options (alternative email, mobile phone number, etc.) before you lost access in any way to your account - you just can't use those. You had those put in place while you were able to use your account fully - well before that you never had any problems.
You pretty much the customer service at this point - and - as you begin to realize... you got what you paid for. ;-)
Just point as it is. Coming to you from the point of view-to-peer - a lot of this could have been avoided on your part and it is now, because certain things were not made - a PITA concern.
* side *.
Insofar as it is inconvenient to create an alternative email - many people * saying *, but I have a few comments on that.
-Usually the ISP you use first (dial-up, Cable Modem, ADSL, Satellite, wireless, etc.) not only * gives * you and email address - but probably gives you the ability to create multiple accounts. Free (well well, in the context of the fact that you pay for your Internet Service.) What is great about these? Set you up and you use as a substitute of email addresses for other services so that you can recover your password. Because you PAY for the Internet Service (and therefore email addresses) - get the password reset account usually is a phone call away - so if you forgot your alternative email address password because you rarely use it - not a big deal.
Is simply put second - everything - so annoying that what you are going through now?
Last thought on this... You have an e-mail account free - it is not difficult to create a pair of them and use them as the laternative for the other and vice versa. I recommend that they find on the different services (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc) - but this way - you have what you need. Treat one as the REAL alternative and the other as a main line. The true alternative could also be the email that you use to register for craptastic deals and like it - then all mails going to it instead of your main account.
When return you to your email - do the wise thing - get this second configuration of e-mail (heck - I have 6 email addresses I always use) and configure all backup plans you can - alternative emails (Yes - you can use several ones) and numbers mobile and security issues, and everything that is offered. This is a free service - enough so it's self-service or lose. :-)

Jump backwards and forwards without answer to question
Questions that I get sometimes; when im using the button back on reading control without answering a question and return back to the question, it won't allow me to answer the question (get a message, "You have not answered this question". There are some users who need to play back and forth. Is it a bugs or some set up I have to do?
Personally I have even shut down the PlayBar totally during the transition to the first slide of the Question. This can easily be done by assigning the value 0 (zero) for the cpCmndShowPlaybar system variable when entering the first question slide (does not exist in the Action on the list of slides to enter) and eventually turn after the slide of score or the last slide in the question.
Be sure to not remove the back button, but cut the movement back in Quiz preferences and agree to have the rear buttons automatically deleted. Because if you remove them manually on the slides, they could reappear magically...
