Changing primary email account confirmation passwo...

Question

I use my Microsoft account to log into Skype.  I can log in just fine, and make calls. However, when I try to change my primary email account, it will ask for a password after you save changes. It will not take my Microsoft password so the changes aren't saved.  When I purchased Skype credit, it said my ID was live:xxxx.  As far as I am aware, there is no password associated with that ID. I've tried to do the forgot password option, and I get the email with the token just fine, but when I try to use it to reset the password, I get an "Opps, this isnt a valid token message."  I've done it twice with the same results each time. At some point I expect my former ISP to disable the email account that is now listed as primary, so I'd like to get my Microsoft email account switched to primary.

Hi Danlepage
in this post: http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/So-you-want-to-change-your-primary-mail-but... I've tried to describe what you need to do.
if you have a skype account created through the use of a microsoft account or a facebook account you have to do some not soo obvious things if you want to change your primary email.  that is what I try to describe in the post...
if your skype account was created as a normal skype user (where you log in with a  username and password), then you should not have any problems. just remember that the password you are supposed to enter when changng the primary mail, is the password of your skype user (I say this because you might be using a microsoft or facebook account to log on even in this case)
it is all very confusing, and skype support also have problems helping you (I spent 50 minutes in a chat session just to be told it can'nt be done.... two hours later I stumbled on a solution/workaround
