HOTMAIL.COM? Help!!!

Dear all,

I was wondering if you could help? I have upgraded to hotmail windows live and two of not three days ago I tired to log in normail log in I know the password off by heart and it wouldnt let me tried and tried and now I am locked out. I have sent 5 of not 6 messages to hotmail to get the account unlocked and no reply. I have even tried the question but it doesnt like my answer. I have heard on the internet that there is a problem with window beta live that it locks you out???

Does anyone know of someone at hotmail.com I can email. I use the account for everything and feel really trapped with out access...

    (this should probably be in the techie help section...)

    ensure that when you log in that you're using [EMAIL="xxxx@hotmail.com"]xxxx@hotmail.com[/EMAIL] on the email address side. I know a few people who've been caught out with that as they only ever used to put the first part of their email address (the bit before the @hotmail.com) in to log on.

    Also, Hotmail have a password retrieval service:
    Under the password box on the front page, there's a link saying Forgot your password? which will ask you to put your email address and the characters displayed on the screen. Then, you have a choice as to which way you want to reset the password.
