   A probability, but that's not what happened.  This morning I was able to   
   "convince" M$'s system to send me a code, which according to it, would take up   
   to 24 hours after verifying my answers.  I could have simplified things had I   
   not changed my phone number.  I received verification from them a short while   
   ago and all I have to do now is login tomorrow and reset my pw.  I shot myself   
   in the foot that time by losing my data that was on a 2T portable drive which   
   refused access to me last month.  I had it replaced under warranty.    
      
      
   Regards,
