Locked out of msn/hotmail account

[K17NEY]

For some reason when i try to sign into my msn or hotmail account it sais my password is incorrect(Which it is not).Theres an option there if you have forgotten your password but that sends you instructions via email (which i can not sign into):wall:. Is there anyway around this?Anybody ever had this before?

Unlucky.

Tried on a different computer? Caps locks? The usual?

[djmartin]

tried to delete MSN and download newer version?
tried to delete all your stored up Cache & index files?

[adam_baker]

sounds like you have been hacked mate, changed your passwords

[K17NEY]

Ive downloaded the latest msn but i also cant access my hotmail.com account.

[Mochachino]

firewall? As youve just installed new msn?

[djmartin]

firewall?



thats what I was thinking.

ive been having the same problem with mine over the last few days,
its a problem with the msn server beening over loaded,

you can reset your password by answering the security questions you set whe nyou st up your msn account,
instead of checking the "send password to email", check the box next to " answer security questions" (or words to that effect), it should ask you your post code and things,

hope this helps.

sorry,
you should still be able to log into your hotmail my going to the home.live.com website

""whats the name of your favourite historical character""........ lmao, what kind of idiot picks that for a security question.. lol sorry but i thought that was amusing.

im guessing the home.live.com website didnt let you in either,

if oyu have another lappy or p.c handy, try logging in that, it worked for me.

This is a buggar.

Has happened to me before.

Do you have a secret question/backup email? (to send your new password to?)

Hopefully you'll need this;

But more likely, you will need this;
