Password Problems

We bought Julia a laptop computer for her birthday when we were in Florida.

She has been using the Barrhaven Tennis Club treasurer's computer for the past few years.

Barb wants to hand over the treasurer's job at the end of the season. So Barb will be returning the computer.

The new computer is Windows 8. I set it up for Julia when I was in Florida. As far as I could figure out, Windows 8 wanted me to snyc the laptop to a hotmail account. So I set up a hotmail account for myself. However, I never use the hotmail account.

We were back in Ottawa a few months before Julia's birthday. I hadn't touched her computer since i was in Florida.

After her birthday, I tried to set up a user account for Julia on her computer. I couldn't log in because it didn't recognize my password.

So I went to my computer and looked up on the hotmail website how to change a password. I asked for a new password to be sent to Julia's hotmail account.

Julia didn't look at it right away. So the reset expired.

When Julia was ready, I resent a request for a new password. Julia reset the password for my hotmail account.

I tried to log on to Julia's computer with the new password. However, Julia's computer was not hooked up to the internet. To set it up on our network, I had to be logged in. I had to use the password from last time I was on the her computer. I was panicking.

I tried my password again a couple of times. Finally, I got in. I do not know what the password was that worked.

I was able to set up the internet after a while. Then it synced with my hotmail account. Now Julia is all set.  

When will I learn how to keep my passwords straight.
