• Microsoft Account Password Reset

Last year, Microsoft acquired and announced the retirement of Live Messenger to give way for Skype as the future instant messenger. I was recently prompted to upgrade my Messenger account to Skype account. I had the option to create a new Skype account or link to an existing account.Since I already had a Skype account, which I have been using for business contacts, I decided to link to it. However, later I realized all my personal contacts were merged with the business account and even my business name was used for the Skype account which was very confusing for the personal contacts. So, I decided to delink the Skype account and create a new one for personal use.It was a bit tedious to locate the unlink option. So, I contacted the with a request to unlink the Microsoft account from my Skype account. Later I figured out the option in the Skype Account Management page in Skype.com website.If you are looking for the option to unlink your accounts, here are the steps:Steps to unlink Microsoft account from SkypeStep 1: Login to Skype.com on the webStep 2: Click on your user name on the top right corner of the page.Step 3: Click on the ' link under 'Account Details'.Step 4: Click on the 'Unlink' link next to your Microsoft account name.Step 5: Click the Continue button to proceed.You are done.

Now your Skype account is delinked from your Microsoft account. Your MSN contacts will no longer appear in your Skype account.How to link your Microsoft account with SkypeDid you change your mind and want to link those accounts again?

It is easy - just open your Skype client. In the login screen, you will see the option to 'Sign in with account'. Enter your Microsoft account credentials. If your account is not linked with a Skype account, you will be prompted to create a new account or link to an existing account. Just choose the second option and proceed with the steps.What do you think about the Messenger - Skype integration?

Microsoft Account Password Reset

Author: 09 Feb 2013 Member Level:: 5I have the same problem with Windows 8 Online Account in the Skype Metro style/Modern. I want to be able to sign out / unlink my skype account from my Microsoft account and when I do that all the contacts should dissapear from the people app and in all the apps that are connected with it. And when iI will connect back I want to have them back. I have connected / linked my father's skype account with the New Modern UI Skype App and now everytime I go to the Skype Modern UI App I can't log out from my father's account and log in with mine. Also, because of his skype contacts, now the People App from Microsoft is almost impossible to use because his conatcts mixed with mine.

Same goes for the messaging app and all apps witch have to do with linking 3rd part apps to the Microsoft Online account. Please fix this because I can't use the people app normally and it's very ANOYING! Guest Author: Ismail 31 Mar 2013Thanks for the info on Unlinking. Since you don't offer a Pantry function yet (to keep an innrotvey), I had hoped to use the Favorites list as the place to record all items I purchase regularly, noting how many I have in the Comments / Details section on each item.

When an item is low, I can start a Groceries List quickly by looking into my Favorites and just tapping them to add the items into the Groceries List.Now, after I have moved an item from Favorites into Groceries, I need to (in Groceries list) select item for editing; tap the Unlink icon; and type or use Plus key to change the Quantity otherwise my Favorites list will show a new quantity as well? This should work thanks.Why? In soft drinks aisles the price tags don't stick with per ounce' pricing among liters, 16 oz, 8oz, 2-liter bottles but in my Favorites list I can enter all bottle sizes and 6packs or 4packs whatever, using ounces, to quickly see which sale prices are good. BUT in my Groceries list, I don't want 99 oz as a Quantity I want to know that I need 3 1-liter bottles of tonic water (for example).

That's what I am getting at.
