I double click on my RandomSoundPlayer script, yet it opens Visual Studio instead of MonoDevelop! And I can't remember my Microsoft account so I cant use it.

Courses Plus Student 12,188 PointsProbably you are using the latest version of Unity5 or 2017. Same courses are made in Unity 4 or Unity5.1 that includes MonoDevelop. If you are using a new version of Unity, it can open both, Mono and Visual Studio. I strongly suggest to use both and decide what are you more comfortable with.
Your Microsoft one universal password for all the product: Microsoft Account includes Skype, Outlook.com, OneDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE, Visual Studio... So for resetting the password go to https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx
If you want to return back to MonoDevelop, be sure that Mono is installed. Then you need to go to Unity, click on Edit --> Preferences and then select external tools you can change it to MonoDev. Probably you need to restart Unity. http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/919467/no-monodevelop-for-unity-5.html
