I have a 'live[ email account. Now when I try to send an email the message appears "Enter Your New Password for ...live.co.uk" or "Server Password Required. Enter your Password" I cannot remember my password from several years ago and did not realise that the one shown as a series of xxx's was not the correct one. This only applies to outgoing mail, incoming mail arrives ok. Can anyone help please?
