A. Yes. However, be aware that the OPC Web site will only recognize the Windows Live ID you used the first time you registered for our site, or when you migrated your old OPC Web site account to a Windows Live ID. (This Live ID is the same one you use to log in to the Partner site.) If you return to OPC using another Windows Live ID sign in, you may be unable to access the site, and you will need to use the Windows Live ID account you used when you first accessed the site.

If you have forgotten this account, contact msoemnet@microsoft.com for assistance, or you will need to re-register for the site.

A. You'll typically see this problem if:

• You are using a different Windows Live ID account than when you first created your user account
  
  or
  
  
• You have not yet created a user account for the OPC Web site.

Due to security and privacy issues we do not have access to OPC’s Windows Live ID information. If you are unsure of the Windows Live ID used to log into the OPC Web site, follow the instructions below to provide us with the details for each Windows Live ID that you have. We will forward the information to our technical team for further investigation:

• Go to https://accountservices.passport.net/ppnetworkhome.srf?vv=550&lc=1033
• On the left navigation, click Account Services and log in using your Windows Live ID associated to your Microsoft Partner Program account.
• On the left navigation, click Account Summary.
• Under your personal information, click Registered Information.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page
• You will see your unique ID. Please send us this information.

A. Contact the Regional Service Center for assistance in changing the Windows Live ID that you currently use to log in.

A. Go to the Windows Live ID site. Here you can manage your Windows Live ID account, change your password, and reset your password if you've forgotten it. This tool is Web-based and will allow you to change or reset your Windows Live ID password right from the Web page. This service is managed by Windows Live ID team. Should you encounter any problems, consult the Windows Live help documentation. If you do not know your password, go to Windows Live Customer Support.
