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,

Roger
