windows live is rejecting my userame/password

Post by Cyberduke »

Hi today Itried to connect my grandparents gmail account to their phone but they could not rememer the password correcly. So now windows live is rejecting my password.

I then connected to the account via www.gmail.com and it accepted the username and password.

I then changed the password on gmail and canged it on windows live but it still says that the server rejects the username/password comination even after I changed it.

It is running win 7.

I don't see how Gmail and Windows Live relate.

Anyway.

Go to https://login.live.com, click "forgot my password" and follow the steps.

He is perhaps using a Gmail addy for Windows Live Messenger?
