Password Recovery for MSN Codes

Recovering access to your MSN account is simple.

MSN provides a number of services, including email and instant messenger. To protect your account information, MSN allows you to generate a single-use code that it sends to your phone via text message when you are using a public computer. You can only access your account, but cannot make changes using a code, unless you have your password. You cannot reset your password without your old password. You will need to use the password recovery option found on the log-in page.

Instructions
