In that case, no. I presume it's integrated into your Windows account and therefore expects you to be the user of both.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

What OS? I assume its windows 7 or earlier?
I assume windows 7 as thats the latest version that I think live mail is supported on (It being replaced by the Mail app in windows 10)
From what I remember live mail was based on outlook express, found these online that seem to match what I remember:
Select Tools -> Accounts... from the menu.
Highlight the desired email account.
Click Properties.
Go to the Servers tab.
Type your password under Incoming Mail Server | Password:.
Make sure Remember password is checked.
Click OK.Comment
