If i transfer my xbox live details to a new 360 do i need to know my hotmail password

I have the old 20gb xbox. Thinking of getting a 250gb elite. However, I cannot remember any details about my windows live password and have sent an email to resolve this. In the meantime, if i wanted to transfer my live account and use just a memory card will I need also my hotmail account details. Also what about all my xbox downs loads such as bomberman - will these be downloaded automatically ??

Thanks

You need your email and password when you recover your gamertag but not if you just move it around like to a memory card then another xbox. You have to re download the stuff yourself but it does not charge you anything

Can you not just use the hard drive transfer cable and copy everything to the new one?

I transferred over 80 GB of data from my 120gb to my 250gb without any problems.

Took 3 hours :D

Id recommend removing burnt game files and just reinstalling em on the new console.
