    How to Change Personal Options in Hotmail


    Step1
    Go into your Hotmail account. Sign in by putting in your email address and password. Click "Options" in the upper right hand corner of your screen once in your account. Click on the first link to the left side of the page entitled "Personal."

    Step2
    Update your profile by clicking "My Profile," which is the first link listed under "Personal Options." You will have to retype your password on this page in order to change your profile information. Click "Save" once you've completed your changes.

    Step3
    Click "Password" on the "Personal Options" page to change your password. Click "Change," type in your current password, type the password you would like to change it to and then retype your new password. If you forgot your old password, click "Forgot your password?" to have information emailed to you so you can reclaim it.

    Step4
    Change your secret question by clicking on "Secret Question" on the "Personal Options" page. Click on "Change" next to your question and a screen will appear asking for your password and a new question. Click "Save" to save your changes.

    Step5
    Click "Language" on the "Personal Options" page to change the language you would like Hotmail to be written in. After doing this, a page will appear where you can choose whatever language you would like. Click "OK" to save the changes.

    Step6
    Click "Weather" on the "Personal Options" page to change the zip code on your profile, which gives you the weather for your area.

    Step7
    Change the amount of time your Hotmail session will last before it automatically signs you out by clicking "Session Expiration" on the "Personal Options" page. You will have four timeframes to choose from: 2 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours or 24 hours. Click "OK."
