Well if you can login to paypal then can you not just close your account and open a new one?

I can't see you getting back into your hotmail email account tbh...

Pete....

when you first signed on did you have an alternate e-mail address that you gave them for the activation...?

Same thing happened to Shorty but he had registered my e-mail addy with them when he created his account so he just sent a forgotten password request which was returned to my e-mail and he logged in and changed all his stuff and answers etc....

The only way I can see mate is to ask someone on here who knows computers etc. to help you. Possibly secs or chip? If anyone can get it back one of those two should be able to.

Pete.....

It`s a doddle,go to www.hotmail.co.uk
and it will come up with a sign in box with "forgotten password" underneath.....

They will reset your password and send it to your alternate e-mail addy....

Go to www.hotmail.co.uk

Were it says sign on, click "Forgot Password"....Then it comes up type in your email address and the letters in the picture...

After this you then get another screen asking you if you want to send yourself a password reset email address or answer your secret question, click the email address one...

The next screen then says send email to alternate email address or your hotmail address, click the alternate, and voila, a email should be sent with a link to a screen where you can change your password.

Hope this helps Pete

right mate, your accounts has been hacked, simple, they have either guessed your password or secret question,then chnaged your secret question. sneeky fooks,

one thing to do

ring microsoft and they reset your password. They are quick and get it done. Make your passwords bulletproof - use numbers, caps and weird symbols (Ł$@') etc

good luck.

Mat

Telephone
0870 60 10 100

MS reading - they will point you in the right direction.

This is your only option if your account has been hacked.
Several of my customers had the amazing idea of using the words "password" and other obvious ones,doh. Only MS could help them.

get on it pal

hotmail allows executing JavaScript code in email messages using vascript, which can compromise a user's hotmail mailbox when viewed with Internet Explorer.

Obviously such knowledge is for educational purposes and should only be used to evaluate your own security rather than exploit others.

You have to contact MSN Hotmail, and just explain the situation. They could get it back to you. but give me your email address and i could give it a shout
