mac - Retrieve forgotten Windows Live ID's password

I have forgotten my Windows Live's password AND secret question AND alternate e-mail account.

I can still access my account from Safari on my MacBook, because I told it to save my password, which led me to think I could recover my password using Keychain Access. However, I couldn't. Windows Live Mail doesn't use OS X's default mechanism to store passwords.

I can also still access my account from Windows Live Messenger on my PC, because (again!) I told it to save my password, which leads me to think I could recover it by navigating through the Registry (at least, theoretically!). However, I don't want to mess with the Registry and potentially make things worse.

This is especially frustrating taking into consideration that, a few months ago, when I forgot my Gmail account's password, I could retrieve it using Keychain Access. Why does Microsoft have to make things more complicated in the name of "security"? Is Microsoft trying to secure my account from myself?

Answer

Try MessenPass from NirSoft. It should show the password stored by WLM.
