After searching few blogs and forum, I figured out the way to configure our msdn blogs
[eg: https://blogs.msdn.com/b/nkhare] with Live writer after few glitches.

So the steps goes as follows:

  1. Create an MSDN Blog.
  2. Open the blog site and login with the configured window live ID
  3. Click on Settings and then Change Password link under Sign In Information Heading.
  4. On the Change Password page click on click here to recover it link

6. After you receive your mail from noreply@blogs.msdn.com   click on create a new password online link.

7. Create a new password. Remember this is not the password for your live account. But, it will be required while configuring Live Writer.

8. Now, as your new password is created you can start configuring to live writer. Open live writer, click on Add Blog account link. If you are opening live writer for first time, the dialog automatically appears.
