You'll need your Microsoft Passport. If you don't have one, you can obtain one when you register.

Why do I need a Microsoft Passport?
Having a Microsoft Passport simply means with one password and e-mail address, you can access many great Microsoft Network sites and services (such as MSN Messenger, competitions and newsletters). The e-mail address you use is entirely up to you - it can be an existing business or personal address, or you can use a Hotmail or MSN e-mail address. Whilst your e-mail will be registered with Microsoft, we use industry-standard security technologies to encrypt your details. And we respect your privacy. Still have questions? No problem - simply call us on 13 20 58.
