Forgotten Hotmail password

[George38]

I recently felt the need to change my hotmail password and now for the life of me I can't remember what it was! I would just open a new hotmail account but for the fact that I had hundreds of saved emails in my account! Given that nothing is ever totally lost on my computer (so I'm told) and my password having been used at least once, is there any way I can recover it from wherever it may be hiding on my computer, or is it lost forever? I'd hate to lose all the information in my stored emails!!
